Democratic presidential candidate and billionaire Tom Steyer said he continues to prevail in his campaign for the 2020 election.
Former Democratic Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick entered the presidential race on Thursday and billionaire Michael Bloomberg might follow, continuing to reshape the race.
“I’m saying something different... The problem we have is the government's been bought by corporations,” Steyer tells Yahoo Finance’s On the Move. “You can talk all you want about the different policy nuances that people care about...but we're not in a position to pass any of those policies. They're not new. They've been around. They haven't been passed. This government is literally broken. The question is what are we going to do about that.
“I would declare a state of emergency from day one. I’ll make it the focus of my foreign policy,” he said, adding that “if we don’t deal with that we are in a lot of trouble. We can deal with it in a way that makes us better employed, healthier... and create millions of jobs and really reinvent the United States.”
“Even though I'm not a famous person... a lot of people, in spite of the fact that we've run TV ads, do not know who I am, when they hear who I am, then I do really well,” said Steyer. “My goal is to continue to say the things that I've been saying, to try and get people to know who I am, and to have them respond.”
