NEW YORK (Reuters) - Billionaire Tom Steyer, who has pushed Democrats to impeach President Donald Trump and previously flirted with running for the White House, said on Tuesday he will now seek the Democratic nomination.
Steyer, 62, painted himself as a political outsider and blasted corporate money in U.S. politics, in a statement and an online video released on Tuesday. He said other Democrats had good ideas but "we won’t be able to get any of those done until we end the hostile corporate takeover of our democracy."
