On April 22, 2019, Moulton launched his presidential campaign for the 2020 election.[2] Moulton said that he would seek the Democratic nomination for president during an interview on Good Morning America, stating "I am here to tell you and to tell America that I am running for President of the United States."[3] He suspended his campaign on August 23, 2019 due to low polling numbers and failed qualifications for the debates.[4][5]
