Potential 2020 candidate Montana Gov. Steve Bullock teases 'big announcement'

ABC News

Montana Gov. Steve Bullock, a Democrat many suspect will soon jump into the crowded 2020 candidate field, teased a "big announcement" in a video on Twitter Saturday.

The governor, who was elected in 2012, leads a state President Donald Trump won by 20 points in the 2016 presidential election. Bullock won his re-election the same year despite the state's support for Trump -- a theme highlighted in the video.

"The only Democratic contender who won a Trump state will make a big announcement," according to the video, with large, white letters written over black-and-white photos of Bullock.

At one point in the video's mash-up of interviews the governor has done over the past year, NBC's Chuck Todd tells Bullock he's "this, like, weird creature from outer space." Later, the video features MSNBC's Willie Geist listing off the two-term governor's record: "A Democratic governor in that state who's pro-choice, you're for marriage equality, you've expanded Medicaid, you've expanded spending on education, you've protected the environment from corporate interests."

and everyone is entering the race because everyone knows how vulnerable Trump is. Every one of our candidates knows that they will be able to beat the asshole in the WH, so why not throw their hat in.

I agree that Gov Bullock is a good man and a good leader...he is an accomplished consensus builder as well but has no problem telling repukes how it's going to be when they need it. I hope he doesn't disappear from politics. I'm sorry to see his term as our governor end.
