The last thing we thought we needed was someone else jumping into the Democratic race for president in 2020, and if anyone did jump in this late, we figured it would be another fringe socialist like Bill de Blasio.

Instead, Ami Horowitz says he’s running because all the current Democratic candidates are insane and their polices suck.

? 2020 ANNOUNCEMENT ?

I'm running for the Democratic Party’s presidential nomination because all their current candidates are insane. If 65,000 people donate $1, I will be onstage at next month's #DemDebate and say that to their face.

You had us at “insane.” We know we left a dollar around here somewhere …

This is the most concise, persuasive campaign pitch I’ve ever seen. Done. — Mike Hennessy (@TheMikeHennessy) May 8, 2019

Thanks for the support, Mike! I’ve already had to upgrade my donation site’s server bandwidth because of the traffic we’ve received in the past 90 minutes: https://t.co/HN0EqDtq9d https://t.co/FdFcrw3EKD — Ami Horowitz (@AmiHorowitz) May 8, 2019

LMAO DO IT https://t.co/mVkIYjxLXv — Ben Shapiro (@benshapiro) May 8, 2019

Thanks for the signal-boost, Ben! This is totally worth $1: https://t.co/HN0EqDtq9d — Ami Horowitz (@AmiHorowitz) May 8, 2019

Honestly I think 65,000 people would donate a dollar to nominate a ham sandwich at this point. Hell, it might even win the nomination considering the candidates it would run against. — Generic Pseudonym (@GenPseudonym) May 8, 2019

Donated. Hope this happens — Nicholas Runje (@nrunje) May 8, 2019

No idea who this is, but he has a strong pitch. INSANE — Pugs (@PugsPugliese) May 8, 2019

I’m game — Patrick Meagher (@Squarzelfitz) May 8, 2019

easiest dollar spent — Adele (@Adele20555648) May 8, 2019

It is worth a buck to see you on stage call them all crazy. Good luck! — Jennifer Flowers (@Jennife01893749) May 8, 2019

I’m voting for Trump but I donated so you can bring some sanity to that party, because after all I am an American — Brian Patrick Cook (@brianpcook) May 8, 2019

Done. Probably the only presidential candidate for whom I would ever donate! Cannot wait to see you on that stage! — Susan (@SammdSusan) May 8, 2019

I've been saying someone should do this for months! Donated! ? — Chad Greenfield (@ChadGreenfield) May 8, 2019

I have never donated to anyone before but this is something I can get behind. — Reid Jensen (@ReidRages) May 8, 2019

Absolutely worth it — dragon energy industry lobbyist (@Swags_McGee_96) May 8, 2019

This is freaking brilliance! — TJ Epting (@te6192) May 8, 2019

Sure, why not. Hope you make enough to qualify. That would be a good show! — Gloria (@ColoradoScenery) May 8, 2019

Will you call out Beto on stage for being a furry? — Lee (@lee_bail83) May 8, 2019

We can’t wait for CNN’s town hall with Ami Horowitz — people might actually tune in for that.
