After hiring staff and even choosing a campaign manager, billionaire Tom Steyer announced (from Iowa) that he will not run for President in 2020.

Instead, he will focus his efforts on trying to get President Donald Trump impeached before the 2020 election, per the New York Times.

  1. Excellent news! I’d MUCH rather that he spent his time and money on helping Democrats get elected this year and next. If impeachment is going to happen it will be as a result of the Mueller report. If Steyer wants to spend his money on ad blitz after the report, well, I’m OK with that too.

    ditto, excellent news! He would have been a distraction, and was unelectable. Please give your $$$$ to candiates/advertisements, not impeachment.

  3. Yep, and he would’ve spent a shit ton of money that could’ve been better used to support other candidates.

    I’d also like to see some of that money go to helping immigrants and needy folks losing jobs because of Trump’s policies.
