Just days after launching his bid for the 2020 race, Tom Steyer hit the campaign trail on Friday, making South Carolina his first stop.
He kicked off his campaign with a grassroots pitch, championing himself as an"outsider" aiming to reform democracy by taking on big corporations, a force he claims is undermining American government.
Following his education roundtable on Friday morning at Burke High School, the 2020 candidate told ABC News the predominantly African American school's threat of closure amid low performance is a"perfect example" of government failure. The billionaire liberal activist addressed his own wealth directly during his conversations with South Carolinians, touting his commitment to philanthropy following skepticism expressed by progressive 2020 front-runners like, Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, who told MSNBC that he is"tired of seeing billionaires trying to buy political power."
Steyer jumped into the race with a video announcement Tuesday, featuring some of the most wealthiest power players in both government and American business. His campaign quickly followed up by releasing two television ads set to run for the next two weeks in key primary states -- Iowa, New Hampshire, Nevada and South Carolina.
