There were already 24 candidates running for the 2020 Democratic Party presidential nomination. Any reasonable person would think that enough. Personally, I think it's more than enough, and I long for the day the field is cut by 10 or 15 candidates.But last Saturday, the Democrats got the one thing they didn't need -- another candidate. Pennsylvania Rep. Joe Sestak has tossed his hat in the ring. In declaring his candidacy, the former Navy admiral said:
“Our country desperately needs a president with a depth of global experience and an understanding of all the elements of our nation’s power, from our economy and our diplomacy to the power of our ideals and our military, including its limitations.”
“The president is not the problem. He is the symptom of the problem people see in a system that is not fair and accountable to the people.”
Sestak's entry into the race brings the total number of candidates to 25. They are:
Elizabeth Warren
Joe Biden
Kamala Harris
Beto O'Rourke
Pete Buttigieg
Cory Booker
Julian Castro
Amy Klobuchar
Jay Inslee
John Hickenlooper
Andrew Yang
Michael Bennet
John Delaney
Tim Ryan

Seth Moulton
Eric Swalwell
Marianne Williamson
Kirsten Gillibrand
Steve Bullock
