On Tuesday, yet another Democrat entered the already overcrowded 2020 presidential field, and while he insists he has something that distinguishes him from the other candidates, some of his fellow Democrats feel that his decision to run for president is going to hurt the party in the long run.

After spending two years building for the moment, Democratic Montana Mayor Steve Bullock announced his candidacy Tuesday. "To give everyone a fair shot, we must do more than defeat Donald Trump," the governor tweeted along with his announcement video. "We have to defeat the corrupt system that keeps people like him in power, and we need a fighter who's done it before."

In the video, Bullock underscores what he presents as evidence that he is, in fact, the Democrats' best hope: He managed to win two gubernatorial races as a Democrat in a red state and pass some progressive legislation since first taking office in 2013. His goal as president: to take down the "corrupt system" and give "a fair shot for everyone."

Bullock starts his announcement by taking aim at big money in politics. "About a hundred years ago, this was the richest hill on earth," he says over footage of Butte, Montana. "The men who owned it were called kings. With their money, they bought politicians, attacked unions, exploited workers, and left us with a toxic reminder of what happens when our democracy is put up for sale."

The governor then turns his attention to America's current "corrupt system": "Today we see evidence of a corrupt system all across America. A government that serves campaign money, not the people." The culprit, he suggests, is the Citizens United decision, which Bullock fought as attorney general. The Democrat goes on to tout winning the governorship by 20 points in 2016 and stressing his ability to work with those who disagree with him.

To give everyone a fair shot, we must do more than defeat Donald Trump. We have to defeat the corrupt system that keeps people like him in power, and we need a fighter who's done it before.

With Bullock's announcement, the number of candidates vying for a shot to take down Trump in 2020 on the Democratic ticket now includes 22 Democrats and one Independent, Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders.

NBC News notes that while Bullock has been "quietly laying the groundwork for White House run" for two years, he was forced to enter the race late because he had to wait for the Montana congressional session, which only occurs every other year, to wrap up voting on about 300 bills.

While Bullock has little name recognition and barely any money, he believes he has a strong shot at the presidency because of his ability to win and pass progressive legislation — including Medicaid expansions and strict campaign finance rules — in a red state. But NBC notes that the move has some Democrats "frustrated" because they were hoping Bullock would turn his attention to the Senate, where Democrats desperately need to gain some ground after losing seats in 2018.

"Bullock's team is well aware he's a long shot, with little money, name-recognition and a late start. Even making the first debate on June 26-27, hosted by NBC, will be a big challenge," NBC reports. "And his presidential ambitions have frustrated some Democrats who say he'd be far more valuable to the party by running for the Senate next year against Republican Steve Daines than by adding his name to the already long list of presidential contenders."
