Former PA Rep. Joe Sestak Enters Crowded Democratic 2020 Race
-------------------------------------------------------------

Former Pennsylvania Congressmember Joe Sestak entered the crowded race
to become the 2020 Democratic presidential nominee Sunday. Sestak is a
former Navy admiral and highlighted his military career in his
announcement. His campaign video states his priorities as tackling
climate change and restoring the U.S.'s global leadership. He said he
wants to "put an end to an illiberal world order's injustices, from
China's control of the 5G network to Russian interference in democratic
elections." Sestak entered the race too late to qualify for the first
Democratic debates, taking place later this week in Florida.
