The polls are clear: Neither Joe Biden nor Donald Trump has the full confidence of his party. But is Biden’s latest competition, Democratic Representative Dean Phillips of Minnesota, the answer to voters’ malaise? Or perhaps an independent candidate like Robert F. Kennedy Jr.?

On this week’s episode of “Matter of Opinion,” the hosts imagine their own alternative candidates for 2024 and debate what good — if any — could come from long-shot contenders.

(A full transcript of the episode will be available midday on the Times website.)

Mentioned in this episode:

“Dean Phillips Has a Warning for Democrats,” by Tim Alberta in The Atlantic
