Democratische presidentskandidaten voor 2020

March 14, 2019 - Voormalig Texaans congreslid Beto O'Rourke heeft formeel aangekondigd zich kandidaat te stellen voor de nominatie van de Democratische presidentskandidaat, waarmee een eind komt aan maandenlange speculatie of hij zich al dan niet in het weidse veld van Democraten zal mengen, die de kans om het tegen president Donald Trump op te nemen, nastreven.

O'Rourke, 46, gained a national following with his long-shot election battle against U.S. Senator Ted Cruz last year.

A fluent Spanish speaker, the Texan politician with Irish roots broke Senate fundraising records by amassing more than $80 million over the course of his 2018 campaign.

O'Rourke is the 15th Democrat to declare his bid for the White House.

He joins a growing roster of people vying for the Democratic nomination, including senators Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren, Kamala Harris, Amy Klobuchar and Senator from New Jersey Cory Booker.
