Former Virginia Sen. Jim Webb is jumping into the race for president, becoming the latest Democrat to try for a primary upset over frontrunner Hillary Clinton.
Fox News has obtained a message from Webb that is expected to go out on social media later Thursday.
He says: "After many months of thought, deliberation and discussion, I have decided to seek the office of the Presidency of the United States."
Webb's entry brings the total number of Democratic presidential candidates to five. Clinton continues to dominate the field, though Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders lately has been gaining in the polls.
But Webb, 69, is cut from a far different political cloth than the independent, socialist-leaning Vermont senator.
