<p>Sorry, folks. The days when you could count the number of Democratic

presidential candidates on your fingers and toes just ended. Colorado

Sen. Michael Bennet has become the 21st Democrat to <a title="" href="https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2020-election/colorado-sen-bennet-enters-presidential-race-after-prostrate-cancer-treatment-n1000971?cid=sm_npd_nn_tw_np" target="_blank" rel="noopener">announce a 2020 run</a>.

Bennet’s announcement was delayed by a prostate cancer diagnosis, but

following successful treatment, he decided to go ahead anyway. In

March, Bennet told&nbsp;<em>Morning Joe</em>&nbsp;that he planned to focus on

income inequality and health care—but he does not support Medicare for

All. “The American people need somebody who is going to run and tell

them the truth in 2020. We can’t get anything done around here if we

continue to do what we’ve been doing here for the last 10 years,” Bennet

said at the time.</p><div class="alt_ad_block story-page-in-content-graph-2">
