Montana Gov. Steve Bullock on Tuesday announced that he is running for president, becoming the 22nd Democrat to announce a bid to take on President Donald Trump in 2020.
In a video posted online, Bullock outlined a campaign to take on money in politics and push progressive policies from his red-state perspective. He plans to focus on his Montana roots and his ability to reach out to Republican voters.
Bullock's video highlights that he won reelection in Montana in 2016 -- the same year Trump won the state in the presidential election."To be honest, I never thought I'd be running for President," Bullock said in the video, which also highlights his successful efforts to expand Medicaid, his support for gay marriage and his bipartisan effort to ban dark money from the state's politics. "This is the fight of our time. This has been the fight of my career. I am Steve Bullock and I am running for President."
