This is a surprise. Democrat Jim Webb announced last November that he had formed an exploratory committee to ponder running for president but he more or less disappeared after that. I hadn't seen anything indicating that he was planning to officially declare himself a candidate today, but that's what he did. There's more intrigue, drama and angst on the Republican side but I am maintaining a list of Democratic candidates, which I've now updated.
Declared Democratic Candidates
- Hillary Clinton (April 12)
- Bernie Sanders (May 26)
- Martin O'Malley (May 30)
- Lincoln Chafee (June 3)
- Jim Webb (July 2)
