Washington's Inslee Puts Climate Change At Center Of Presidential Bid

"SEATTLE/WASHINGTON - Washington Governor Jay Inslee launched a longshot bid for the U.S. presidency on Friday with a vow to fight climate change and promote policies to make the country more prosperous and inclusive.

Speaking in Seattle in the chilly garage of a solar energy company, Inslee became the first governor to join the crowded field of Democrats vying for the party’s White House nomination in 2020, a race expected to be volatile and hard-fought as the winner faces off against Trump.

“I am running for president because, unlike the man who is in the White House, I believe in all the people who make up America,” Inslee, who regularly swipes at Trump on Twitter, said to cheers."
