Joe Sestak, a former congressman and retired Navy admiral, officially ended his presidential campaign. There are now 17 Democrats left.
“A moral compass for our great ship of state is the beacon most needed today,” he said. “That is necessary for us both at home and abroad, to convene the world to advance our policies and commitment to democratic values for our collective good.”
He portrayed himself as a supporter of working-class Americans and made his primary objectives facing the climate crisis and foreign threats. Sestak had joined the race in June, later than most of his 2020 rivals, after his daughter battled a relapse of brain cancer. This last month has brought two new Democratic contenders in former New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg and former Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick.
Sestak, once the highest-ranking military official ever elected to Congress, served in the House from 2007 to 2011. He later made two failed bids for the Pennsylvania Senate seat in 2010 and 2016.
