HELENA — Montana Gov. Steve Bullock will announce his bid for the presidency in two weeks, MTN News has learned — adding to the 20 Democrats already running for the 2020 nomination to challenge President Trump.

Bullock, a two-term governor who can’t run for re-election in 2020 because of term limits, isn’t talking publicly yet about his specific plans.

But sources told MTN News the Democratic governor plans to officially unveil his candidacy soon, likely the week of May 13.

Bullock’s announcement won’t be a big surprise. He formed a political action committee, Big Sky Values PAC, in mid-2017, to fund political travels and activity around the country, and he’s hired political veterans as staffers for the PAC, including an organizing director in Iowa.

1. One more poll like today's

and both De Blasio and Bullock will probably not run.

2. Why? What does he think he can bring to race that is not there already?

We already have about 10 too many candidates running. We don’t need another. What we need are qualified, well-known and well-liked candidates to run for the Senate, like the seat in Montana which is up in 2020 and could use a Democrat in it.

3. um. this is starting to smell. nt

6. How so?

[Kurt V.]

8. my spidey sense is going off. you have it too. It's when something so unreasonable

happens, questions must be raised as to why

9. Oh, please...

Which of our GOVERNORS, SENATORS, CONGRESSPERSONS, and MAYORS are part of this evil conspiracy?

[Celerity]

4. He needs to run for the Senate, he can beat the Trump-humper Daines

He has zero chance to win the primary. We desperately need the Senate back.

[Cha]

10. That's too bad he's

not running for the Senate.

It seems kind of selfish not to when we need the Senate so badly for our Democracy.. and we don't need another presidential candidate.

5. If it's another "rural" consensus candidate, he can stay out

I want someone willing to go to war against tЯump and the rest of his monkey base.

7. Aw, jeez, not another one?

This is getting kind of ridiculous. Unless you're as well-known as Biden, if you don't get in early you might as well not bother.

[DesertRat]

11. I wish he'd run for Senate

At this point, does he really think he has a chance at the nomination, or is this just self-promotion?
