Weighing in after voters overwhelmingly handed Trump a second term last week, the Minnesota congressman told NewsNation, “I am not a big fan of the president himself, but I understand the MAGA movement. I understand why people are angry.”

With Trump announcing a flurry of nominations to top Cabinet posts over the last few days, Phillips threw his own hat in the ring to change the game in Washington, saying Thursday, “If there is a job that could help the country and that my skillset would be useful for — anybody should consider that.”

“I understand why this federal government needs to be reformed,” he continued. “But then do it with people with competency and integrity to do it.”

Phillips isn’t the only one in his party eyeing a place in the incoming administration. Several Democrats who are disillusioned with their party have already become a driving force in Trumpworld.

Space X and Tesla CEO Elon Musk voted Democratic for years before admitting his support for limited government and free markets pushed him to endorse Trump this election cycle. The president-elect appointed Musk to help spearhead the Department of Government Efficiency, which seeks to eliminate bureaucratic waste and inefficiency.
