JUST IN: Montana Gov. Steve Bullock announces he is running for president, becoming the 22nd Democrat to announce a 2020 bid
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. Here's who has qualified for the Democratic primary debatesBullock's video highlights that he won reelection in Montana in 2016 -- the same year Trump won the state in the presidential election.
Bullock's late entry into the race -- the governor opted to wait on an announcement until the Montana state legislature, which only meets every two years, had finished its session -- means he will have to hurry to find 65,000 campaign donors and enough support in the polls to meet the Democratic National Committee's threshold for the first two Democratic primary debates this summer.
