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.

Looks like Swalwell in the back seat struggling to get out before his impecable reputation is tainted by the others in the clown car? Thanks for the pic. I live in IA and this pic will show up at Dem speaking engagements.
this is not the first time he’s been “poised to announce”, and just a few months ago, he traveled to Iowa to announce he was NOT going to run ...
AND, he’s still got to meet the 1% or greater in three different polls threshold and receive 65,000 unique donations with a minimum of 200 unique donations each from at least 20 different states to get on the debate stage in July (it gets even tougher for September) ... so there’s no way this guy is going to make it onto the debate stage ...
so, bottom line, he once again confirms that he’s a total flake, billionaire or not ...
As good a way as any to waste a billion or two.
Who?
“Pig” Steyer, that’s who!
I’m waiting for the first time he has to debate Bernie...
Michael Bloomturd said he would not run if Biden got in the race.
Now that Biden is fading, can we expect Mr. Big Gulp gun grabber to present his fascist butt in Iowa?
Why does “Billionaire Hedge-Fund Manager” often seem to correspond with Evil Globalist Despot?
Yes, wonderful news.
Hope Biden hangs in there too!
Gosh - just yesterday, or so, the rumors said he was opting out......
Wonder if he’ll bring a custom clown limo to the show...
