Opinion: Do two newcomers into the Democratic primary matter?
Sen. Michael F. Bennet at the Capitol on Jan. 24. By Jennifer Rubin Jennifer Rubin Opinion writer covering politics and policy, foreign and domestic Email Bio Follow Opinion writer May 2 at 1:45 PM In case you missed it, the Democratic presidential primary field got word about two new entrants this week: Steve Bullock , a popular governor in a red state with a passion for campaign finance reform, and Sen. Michael F. Bennet , also a moderate and a centrist in a body that has few of them.
Why then are they in the race, and why should Democrats care that they are in it? One could surmise that they are auditioning for the VP slot to provide balance geographically or ideologically if, say, Sen. Kamala D. Harris or Sen. Elizabeth Warren is the nominee. One could also imagine one of them becoming a capable Cabinet secretary if a Democratic president wins. But neither the vice president nor Cabinet secretaries need to have been presidential candidates.
