Democrats love Steve Bullock. They just want him to run for the Senate instead.
Democrats really don't want Montana Governor Steve Bullock (D) to run for president, Politico reports. But it's not because they don't like the guy.
On the contrary, Bullock, who announced his 2020 bid on Tuesday, is largely respected nationwide and seemingly has some bipartisan appeal — he is, after all, a popular Democratic governor of a patently red state. But his path toward the presidency in an overly crowded Democratic field is still regarded as a major long shot. Instead, Democrats want him to shift his talents toward the Senate.
