-- Colorado Senator Michael Bennet said he doesn’t expect a diagnosis of prostate cancer will keep him from joining the already crowded Democratic field for president in 2020.
Bennet announced last week that the cancer was discovered during a screening and that he plans to have surgery when Congress recesses this month, followed by a few weeks of recovery. “I would like to get on with this,” he said on CNN. The Colorado senator is among at least five more Democrats considering the party’s race for the right to challenge Republican President Donald Trump in 2020, including former Vice President Joe Biden. Democratic Representative Tim Ryan of Ohio bought the number of declared candidates to 16 when he announced his bid Thursday.
Bennet, 54, a former managing director of Denver’s Anschutz Investment Co., drew national attention with an impassioned floor speech in January criticizing Republican Senator Ted Cruz of Texas during the partial federal government shutdown. But he has a penchant for bipartisanship and independent thinking.
