By my highly unofficial tally, the sixth Democrat who’d expressed interest in the party’s nomination for president in 2020 has dropped out. Politico reports Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti has indicated he will remain in that job, rather than pursue the nomination.
Politico indicated Garcetti had done substantial waters-testing in recent months and had not aroused enough interest to justify continuing. They further opine the role of big city mayor isn’t historically a great launching pad for president.
