Sen. Michael Bennet jumped into the 2020 presidential race Thursday morning, becoming the 21st Democratic contender vying for his party’s nomination and the second hailing from Colorado.
Bennet, a moderate senator from the Mountain West, made his bid official on Thursday morning, after promising earlier this month that he would “100 percent” run for president if he were declared cancer-free. Bennet underwent a successful surgery in mid-April to treat prostate cancer.
