Former Pennsylvania congressman Joe Sestak has become the latest Democrat to enter the presidential race.
Former congressman Joe Sestak, center, his wife, Susan Sestak, and daughter Alex Sestak react after speaking to supporters gathered outside his campaign headquarters in Media, Pa., in 2016.
Sestak decries what he calls “America’s retreat from the world” and says strong action is needed to deal with climate change, corporate accountability and China’s geopolitical threat. Sestak served two terms in the House, then defied party leaders by running against incumbent Sen. Arlen Specter in the 2010 primary. Sestak beat Specter, but lost the general election to Republican Pat Toomey. Sestak sought a rematch against Toomey in 2016 but national Democrats recruited a primary challenger who defeated him.
