Sen. Michael Bennet jumped into the 2020 presidential race, becoming the 21st Democratic contender vying for his party’s nomination and the second hailing from Colorado
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.
But Bennet’s late entrance into the Democratic primary, months after many of his opponents got in the race, puts the senator behind the rest of the pack in everything from fundraising to building campaign infrastructure in the early primary and caucus states. It also means Bennet faces a mad dash to qualify for the first debates in June, when the Democratic National Committee has capped the number of participants at 20 candidates spread over two nights.
The Colorado Democrat is also joining a sea of Senate colleagues, becoming the seventh senator to join the race. The 54-year-old Bennet could also struggle to stand out in the most diverse presidential field in history, including six women, six candidates of color and an openly gay mayor. Bennet can’t even claim sole ownership of his home state, as former Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper is also running for president.
