I know the midterms JUST PASSED, but we officially have one Democrat throwing his hat into the presidential ring.
His name is Ojeda. Richard Ojeda. He ran in West Virginia’s 3rd Congressional District and lost. Republican Carol Miller beat him 56 percent to 44 percent.
He filed papers to run for President of the United States in 2020.
The new filing with the Federal Election Commission came on the same day Ojeda told supporters to be prepared for a Monday announcement.
“I hope you will join me tomorrow at noon EST for an important announcement,” he said in a Sunday email to supporters. “Because like I said, we are not done fighting.”
By the way– Ojeda apparently voted for Trump in 2016 but has since expressed regret.
Ojeda, a fiery Democrat who voted for Donald Trump before admitting he regretted it, predicted in his concession speech Tuesday: “Make no mistake about it! You’re going to know my name!”
HA– OK?
So there you go, Dems. You OFFICIALLY have someone willing to run against Donald Trump. There’s certainly no name recognition there, but…#resist anyway!
