Montana Governor Steve Bullock enters Democrats' 2020 White House race

HELENA, Montana, May 14 (Reuters) - Democratic Governor Steve Bullock of Montana jumped into the 2020 presidential race on Tuesday, touting his ability to work with Republicans and promising to make campaign finance reform a signature issue.

Bullock, 53, won re-election in conservative Montana in 2016, making him the only one of the more than 20 major Democratic presidential candidates to win statewide election in a state that President Donald Trump carried in 2016.

As Democrats gauge the electability of the party's White House contenders, Bullock hopes his 2016 victory will show that he can broaden the party's appeal to moderate and rural voters beyond its coastal strongholds.

"As a Democratic governor of a state that Trump won by 20 points, I don't have the luxury of just talking to people who agree with me," Bullock said in a video announcement of his candidacy. "I go all across our state's 147,000 square miles and look for common ground to get things done."

I think he knows he doesn't have much of a chance... he's vying for the VP slot, IMO. NurseJackie May 2019 #1
