Joe Sestak tweeted about it: 

"Our country desperately needs a President with a depth of global experience and an understanding of all elements of our nation’s power, from our ecomy and our diplomacy to power of our ideals and our military, including its limitations,” Sestak said in a video released on his campaign website.

This takes final count of Democrats who are going to tough it out at  primaries to around 24, according to reports. Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton h emerged as  Democratic candidate for 2016 elections after primaries, only to lose to former business magnate and incumbent US President Donald Trump. Trump is also facing competition from within his Republican party this time around, after Massachusetts' former Goverr William 'Bill' Weld anunced his Presidential campaign in April.

For over 31 years, Sestak served in  United States Navy and rose to rank of three-star miral. He has also served as Director for Defense Policy on  National Security Council staff under President Bill Clinton and held a series of operational commands.
