California billionaire and liberal activist Tom Steyer will announce this week that he plans to enter the already crowded field of candidates for the Democratic presidential nomination, according to a person close to him.
The decision by Steyer, one of the biggest donors to Democratic politicians, was unexpected. He had traveled to Iowa earlier in the year to announce he would not run, but would instead focus on his large grass-roots campaign to impeach President Trump.
But Steyer now appears to see an opening. The Democratic primary field remains unsettled. Former Vice President Joe Biden’s poor debate performance last month hurt him in polls and pierced the perception that his lead could be insurmountable.
The former hedge fund manager has been telling friends and associates that he will run. Politico reported late Sunday night that Steyer revealed his plans in a conference call with staff members at his advocacy groups.

Excellent! Now he can further waste his money while never having a chance. Plus, he wont be donating to any of the rest of the loony bunch.

He is trying to scare the Dems in Congress into impeachment proceedings.

Steyer’s a born crook.
The FEC is gonna have a field day with that idiot.
He makes Epstein look honest.

California billionaire Tom Steyer poised to announce White House run Jump on in. The water's fine.
If he hasn't practiced boundless hatred for the United States in speeches to a mirror, how does he think he will ever appeal to his "base?"

This guy is a far left global warming @sshole. He’s from California and he tried to shove a solar mandate referendum here in Arizona that at minimum would have tripled electric rates.
His stupid referendum lost by a landslide, thank God.
Let him try to run. He’s an idiot with a massive ego, I’d love to see Skanka and Crazy Bernie rip him apart.

Steyer’s owned political Orgs. HE’s a wanna-be Soros with a lot less money:
Action for Justice
Need to Impeach
NextGen America
This moron thinks he OWNS the Democrat party, having given over a QUARTER BILLION DOLLARS to Democrat Orgs in the last 6 years. He is the epitome of a Politician’s crony

Thanks tcrlaf. Sounds like he was counting on Biden. I think he should concentrate on what he's passionate about, and seek the Green Party nomination, then when he gets that, change the name of it to the Green and Impeachment Party.

Wait a minute...he’s a billionaire so the base of the Democrat Party is going to oppose him, or demand that he give up his wealth to the poor, right?
