Richard Ojeda, the firebrand state senator and ex-U.S. Army officer, is set to announce his intention to run for president in 2020 less than a week after losing his bid for West Virginia’s 3rd Congressional District.
Ojeda, who rose to prominence earlier this year for his role in the state’s teachers' strike after voicing support for an increase in wages, is expected to formally announce his intention to run at 12 p.m. E.T. having already signed paperwork with the Federal Election Commission to create a campaign “Ojeda for President,” reports Roll Call.

Him and 400 other Democrats.
Don Trump will be re-elected in a landslide in November 2020.
I sincerely hope The Donald is reelected, but let’s not count the votes until the ballots have hatched.
From the article: ‘However, one potential problem for Ojeda in 2020 could be the fact that he voted for Trump in the last election.’
This is gonna be good!!!!!!!!
Waaaaay to moderate to make it in the Dem primary with the Antifa/BLM wing of the Dems running the party now
*...the other 10% are natural disasters
Basically another Jim Webb.
Democrats aren’t interested in anyone mainstream. They want the Bernie-style socialists and Abolish ICE Sisters (Gillibrand, Warren, Harris) of the party.
He’s not a quitter. That should be obvious now.
He LIKES the fight. It keeps him young.
He despises these pygmy shysters and he has rapidly figured out the game. He’s the President and he knows it.
And there will be no impeachment.
I’m still curious to see if he runs.
I’m still curious to see if the AWOL GOP “conservative” Senators appear again after being MIA during the first two years of Mueller Coup. Mike Lee was all over my TV and radio when Obama was POTUS. Now I look at milk cartons to see if his picture is on them because I haven’t seen him in years.
Joda Ojeda
Never heard of him. He loses a House seat and then decides he should be President. That’s where we are these days.
Democrats aren’t interested in anyone mainstream. They want the Bernie-style socialists and Abolish ICE Sisters (Gillibrand, Warren, Harris) of the party.
They want to be hip. No matter how old. That is why I suspect the El Paso Red will be the Dem nom.
So? He won’t become the Democrat nominee.
The Democratic primary season will be a carnival. As a spectator it will be fun to watch.
Never heard of Dick Ojeda.
That sounds like something nasty you’d discretely tell your doctor about.
Right -I had to read the article for a refresher on his loss in W.Va.
I think he pitched for the Mets in ‘86
