The Massachusetts Democrat joins a crowded presidential field that already includes three other members of the House.
By David Weigel David Weigel National reporter covering politics Email Bio Follow April 22 at 6:15 AM Rep. Seth Moulton of Massachusetts launched a bid Monday for the Democratic nomination for president, becoming the 19th candidate in the most crowded primary in the party’s modern history.
“We’ve never had a more reckless commander in chief,” Moulton said last month during his listening tour of the first four primary states. “Veterans aren’t going to let themselves be defined by a draft dodger.” While Moulton made some allies around the country in 2018 — his Serve America PAC raised $4.3 million and helped elect 21 candidates — he has not been strongly identified with either moderates or the insurgent left wing.
“Maybe some of these folks should join me the next time I go in for surgery,” Moulton said of single-payer advocates in a March interview with The Post.
