Washington Governor Jay Inslee has launched his 2020 presidential bid, running on a platform of defeating climate change.
Said Inslee in an announcement video: “I am the only candidate who will make defeating climate change our nation’s number one priority.”
Politico reports: ‘Inslee, 68, is betting that his relentless focus on climate, a fundamental issue for elements of the Democratic Party now pushing for a “Green New Deal,” can vault him past primary opponents who may share some of his views on the issue — but who lack his singular focus or record of action at the state level. But the Washington governor begins his campaign less-known and behind in the polls compared to some of his rivals in Congress, though he has had a longer political career than most of them.’
