HELENA, Mont. — Montana Gov. Steve Bullock says he is seeking the 2020 Democratic presidential nomination.
The 53-year-old on Tuesday became the third governor in a race with almost two dozen candidates, but Bullock is the only statewide elected official to win a state that President Donald Trump carried in 2016. That’s a key part of Bullock’s argument. He’s telling voters that he’s succeeded as a Democrat in a state that leans solidly Republican, making him an ideal person to take on Trump.
Bullock pushed expanded Medicaid insurance in Montana through a Republican-led legislature and expanded LGBTQ rights by executive order. He’s also vetoed gun bills and abortion restrictions pushed by Republican lawmakers. His immediate challenge is raising money and getting enough support in polls to qualify for Democrats’ first debates in June.
You’re literally making up names at this point, right?
Why do people with zero chance keep declaring?
Ladies and Gentlemen, I give you the democrats presidential contenders
Who ,why and what for.Democrats need to close ranks get a clear, concise, coherent message and go after Trump the others need to be fighting for Senate seats and Congressional seats.
Breaking news : Kevin has announced he is running for president!
be sandra bullock or be nothing
Are you kidding Bullock? We need another (mostly unknown) candidate like we need a hole in our head. I’m sure he’s a good guy but mostly not known. He got in too late.
Damn! I got exited there for a second. I thought it said Buttocks
Guys, please stop. There’s no reason for this many candidates😂😂
Am I missing something ?
Oh, for cryin out loud. Staaaaaahp.
marcelmyrick70 Have we made it to 💯 yet?

Hey, AP, I'd like to announce I am also running as a democratic candidate for the 2020 election
That’s bullocks!
That's a big YAWN from me!
Wow I got a boner with this announcement
🤣 chasing those dollars.. fill those pockets.. TheDemMoneyGrab 🤣
Why?🤔🤷🏻♂️
What is Montana ?
At this point these guys are running to be Kamala’s VP. They have no chance at President this round. However, if Kamala is at the top of the ticket, she’ll need a white guy with her. Swalwell is from CA, Buttigieg is gay. Beto is weird. Biden, Bernie, are old.
Why not? Everyone else is running....
Sorry, but most DNC voters do NOT want a conservative from Montana 'posing' as a Democrat.
They just want that 2nd round for the super delegates, that is all this is about BernieSanders
I might as well declare my candidacy too. Why not?
➡️🤣🤣🤣🤪
Who ISN’T running? Good lord...
Disappointing. I'd rather see GovernorBullock run for Steve Daines's Senate seat.
😴
Wow, this guy is going to keep Trump up at night?
I'm sorry but are we being punked now? Do these white guys get rewards points from some secret program for running for President when they have no shot?
Well it's a good thing that the Democratic party have an absolute direction in leadership.........not! The Democratic party is making sure tRump will be re-elected.... if it wasn't so sad it would be funny...
NialaCharles Two dozen
Pointless
What’s that 100 candidates now ....Bhahahahahaha
Enough is enough
Welcome to the land of 1%
Who?
What the heck? I don't get why so many. Is this helpful? Is this helping Trump?
Great, just what we needed! Everyone in America should run, it's a perfect metaphor for the 'Me First and Fuck The Rest' Era.
😂😂
This is joke.
DNC CNN The Democratic Presidential Field “one big socialist organism with 22 heads.” - Tim Murtaugh
Maybe we should elect John Snow......literally the only one who doesn’t want the position
Who and why?
Okay enough is enough. I mean no disrespect, but who is this person? And why is he bothering?
Crazy!
Montana...who..why
A little late
Another person joins the Democratic circus
Clown Car getting tighter.....
Um ok me too
Announces bid to get into VP sweepstakes
Stop. Enough.
Nooooooooooo
Now it's getting beyond silly.
A large number of these candidates should run for the senate instead. Mitch McConnell has got to go!!!
It’s a mockery at this point
The first debate is going to be a steel cage match, isnt it?
A Joke
Aw hell I might as well run for President too.
ENOUGH....already...NO MORE STAY IN THE SENATE WHY ARE YOU GETTING IN SO LATE
My dog just declared for President. She has a better chance than the governor of Montana.
Just stop. Jesus
Who?
Great. Another one...
That makes 50 candidates! Where will CNN put them all?
And another one! DJ Khaled!
staaahp.
FFS, nochance
Who?
Freaking News.
Now it’s getting ridiculous.
At this point they should start announcing who is not running.
Uhmm no.
For fucking what!?
“BREAKING” 👍🏻😂
23 only ? Well there are 50 states
SENATE!! Scale your ego back a bit and look around for better ways to help the country. Leaving McConnell and company in charge of the Senate will ensure nothing gets done, even if one of the two dozen Dems does make it into the WH...🤯
The money being spent to advance 20 candidates is beyond Cray
Is there one from every state yet?
Yet 1 more added to the pile of garbage.
Why. Why. Why. WHY WHYWHYWHYWHYWHYWHYWHYWHYWHYWHYWHYWHYWHYWHY!?!!?!!!?!
But why
Campaign donations the new get rich quick scheme.
Is there going to be a Dem Pres Candidacy parade? With 1000+ entries? No doubt GOP will win again.
Enough, do they not see it’s becoming too muddled as it is?!
Hey JoeBiden shouldn't people be getting out instead of more getting in? Everybodyinthepool
This is getting out of hand
Who?
🙄🙄🙄
Someone please tell Montana Gov that announcing your candidacy for President of the United States for the 2020Elections is very 2018. Someone please tell most of the recent candidates, old & new/young.
We’re gonna need a bigger clown car 🤡
Senate, Steve! Run for the Senate.
Who?
Bullocks!
Awesome! I was worried not enough people were running already and choice would be limited
