NEW: A former governor announces that he will challenge President Trump for the Republican nomination for president in 2020.
He"believes that we must preserve the democratic institutions of our Republic: the rule of law, a free and open press, and America's global leadership in maintaining a freer, safer world," his campaign said.
Weld, 73, has run on a ticket against Trump before — he was the Libertarian Party's vice presidential nominee in 2016, when former New Mexico Gov. Gary Johnson led the party's ticket. They got just more than 3 percent of the vote. "I'm here because I think our country is in grave peril," he said then."I cannot sit quietly on the sidelines any longer."
