BALDWIN: Welcome back. You're watching CNN. I'm Brooke Baldwin. Thanks for being with me on this Martin Luther King Jr holiday. A major announcement in the race for 2020. Senator Kamala Harris is joining the Democratic contest. The California Democrat made her announcement this morning while also honoring Dr. King.</s>SEN. KAMALA HARRIS, (D), CALIFORNIA: My parents were very active in the civil rights movement and that's the language I grew up hearing. And it was about a belief that we are a country that was founded on noble ideals. We are the best of who we are when we fight to achieve those ideals. The thing about Dr. King that inspires me is he was aspirational. He was aspirational like our country is aspirational. We know that we've not yet reached those ideal, but our strength is that we fight to reach those ideals.</s>BALDWIN: Senator Harris joins a growing field of Democrats looking to take on Trump.
