President Trump has his first Democratic challenger in the 2020 presidential election: Rep. John Delaney of Maryland, who announced his bid Friday.
“The current administration is making us less prosperous and less secure,” Delaney wrote in an op-ed in the Washington Post on Friday. “I’m running because I have an original approach to governing and economic policy that can put us on a different course.
Delaney was first elected to the House in 2012 and represents Maryland’s 6th Congressional District, which spans Western Maryland and part of the Washington suburb of Montgomery County. In announcing his decision to seek the Democratic nomination for president, Delaney said he will not seek re-election to his House seat.
A former businessman, Delaney co-founded Health Care Financial Partners and CapitalSource, and is the only member of the House to formerly serve as the CEO of a publicly traded company.
