Former Rhode Island governor Lincoln Chafee formally announced his entry to the 2016 presidential race with a speech in Arlington, Virginia, Wednesday evening. “I enjoy challenges, and today we have many facing America,” Chafee said in his speech Wednesday. “Today I am formally entering the race for the Democratic nomination for president.” Chafee is running as a Democrat, but he comes from a long line of Republican politicians, including his father John Chafee, who served as a Republican governor and senator, as well as secretary of the Navy for President Richard Nixon.
