President Trump took aim at Democrats' 2020 chances Saturday, as candidates Sens. Elizabeth Warren and Amy Klobuchar were expected to officially throw their hats in the ring.

“The Democrats in Congress yesterday were vicious and totally showed their cards for everyone to see. When the Republicans had the Majority they never acted with such hatred and scorn! The Dems are trying to win an election in 2020 that they know they cannot legitimately win!” Trump tweeted Saturday morning.

Warren, who is expected to announce Saturday from her home state of Massachusetts, and Minnesotan Klobuchar, who will make a Sunday announcement, join a large and growing field of candidates jumping into the Democratic primary to run against Trump in the 2020 presidential election.

On Friday, acting Attorney General Matt Whitaker testified before the House Judiciary Committee Democrats, who peppered him with questions about everything from special counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia investigation to his conversations with Trump.

He also faced questions on why he did not recuse himself from the special counsel’s investigation like the attorney general before him, Jeff Sessions.

Trump said that Democrats’ questioning of Whitaker was “vicious” and claimed that when Republicans held the majority in the House during his first two years as president, they did not treat witnesses with “such hatred and scorn.”
