Steyer appears ready to enter presidential race: report

BY OWEN DAUGHERTY - 07/08/19 07:24 AM EDT

Philanthropist and billionaire liberal activist Tom Steyer is reportedly telling friends he will enter the crowded Democratic presidential primary field this week.

The Atlantic, citing unidentified sources, reports that Steyer, best known for his campaign to impeach President Trump, will announce Tuesday that he is running for president.

The possible announcement comes after Steyer appeared ready to enter the field back in January, going as far as setting up a trip to Iowa for a kick-off event before changing his mind in the final days.

Instead, Steyer traveled to Iowa, the first state to hold a Democratic caucus in the election cycle, to announce that he was not running for president.
