BENNET HINTS ABOUT JOINING CROWDED RACE

-

Colorado Sen. Michael Bennet had a message for fellow Democrats this weekend as two more White House contenders formally jumped into the 2020 presidenti­al race: Don’t forget about me.

“We’ve got a million people that are going to run, which I think is great,” Bennet said Sunday on NBC’s “Meet the Press.” But, he added, “I think having one more voice in that conversati­on that’s focused on America’s future, I don’t think would hurt.”

The Democratic field is growing fast, putting pressure on Bennet and others, such as former Vice President Joe Biden, to make a decision. Sens. Kamala D. Harris of California, Kirsten Gillibrand of New York and Cory Booker of New Jersey are already in the race.

Two other senators, Elizabeth Warren of Massachuse­tts and Amy Klobuchar of Minnesota, announced their campaigns this past weekend.
