Sen. Michael Bennet, D-Colo., announced he will run in the Democratic primary to seek his party’s nomination to go up against President Trump in the 2020 election.

“My plan is to run for president. I appreciate you letting me come here to announce that,” Bennet said in an interview with “CBS This Morning” on Thursday. “I think this country faces two enormous challenges, among others. One is a lack of economic mobility and opportunity for most Americans, and the other is we need to restore integrity to our government. I think we need to do both of those things.”
