\"I'm sorry if it still snows in the world,\" Klobuchar said on \"Good Morning America\" on Monday. \"But the point is that we know climate change is happening.\"
Next Monday, Klobuchar will participate in a CNN town hall in New Hampshire, then will travel to Iowa on Thursday.
Merkley is \"still exploring\" a run for president, he told Northwest Labor Press this week, and denied that his decision will be based on whether Sen. Bernie Sanders, who he endorsed in 2016, decides to run.
After telling BuzzFeed News Monday that he is thinking about running for president, Moulton confirmed the sentiment publicly Tuesday during question-and-answer sessions following a foreign policy speech at the Brookings Institution in Washington, D.C.
\"I'm thinking about running for president,\" Moulton said in the BuzzFeed interview. \"I'm not definitely running, but I'm going to take a very hard look at it. A very serious look at it. Because I believe it's time for a new generation of leadership, and we gotta send Donald Trump packing.\"
The Massachusetts congressman added that his decision will not be based upon who else launches campaigns, saying he doesn't \"look at this as a horse race.\"

As Trump held a campaign rally across town, O'Rourke defended his hometown of El Paso, Texas, during a protest march Monday, criticizing the president for his inflammatory rhetoric regarding immigration.
\"We are making a stand for the truth, against lies and hate and ignorance and intolerance,\" O'Rourke said. \"El Paso has been the safest city in the United States of America not in spite of the fact that we're a city of immigrants but because we are a city of immigrants.\"
During Trump's event, he used the El Paso setting to discuss the former Texas congressman, referring to him as \"a young man who's got very little going for himself, except he's got a great first name.\"
Politico reported Wednesday that O'Rourke met with Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) to discuss a possible run for Senate against Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas) in 2020.
Ryan is \"seriously considering\" a presidential run, he said on CNN's \"Erin Burnett Outfront\" Wednesday.
The Ohio congressman, perhaps best known for his 2016 challenge of Nancy Pelosi to lead House Democrats, added that he doesn't \"feel any pressure for any timeline at this point.\"
\"The country is divided,\" Ryan said. \"We can't get anything done because of these huge divisions that we have, and people in communities like the ones I represent… are suffering because of this division. You can't win the future divided.\"
Sanders is leaning towards announcing a presidential campaign by the end of February, Fox News reported Thursday, citing two sources close to the Vermont senator.
Earlier in the week, amid the controversy that engulfed Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., over a tweet interpreted to be anti-Semitic, Sanders called the freshman congresswoman to offer his support, The Daily Beast reported.
The former Starbucks CEO continued to face criticism from Democrats over his potential independent bid for president and Schultz returned the favor, discussing his misgivings with both Democrats and Republicans at a CNN town hall Tuesday.
\"Both parties today on the far left and the far right are more interested in partisan politics, revenge politics,\" Schultz said. \"I think we could be doing so much better than we are.\"
During the event, Schultz acknowledged that his \"business experience is not qualification to run for president,\" but argued that he could bring a pragmatic, results-focused approach to combating problems like climate change and economic inequality.

Sen. Warren officially jumped into the 2020 race, announcing her candidacy for president at a rally in Lawrence, Massachusetts, last Saturday.
Before a crowd of 3,500 supporters packed into Everett Mills -- the site of one of the most famous labor strikes that catalyzed massive changes to labor rules -- Warren said, \"Millions and millions and millions of American families are also struggling to survive in a system that has been rigged by the wealthy and the well-connected. Hard-working people are up against a small group that holds far too much power ... Like the women of Lawrence, we are here to say enough is enough!\"
\"The fight to build an America where dreams are possible, an America that works for everyone. I am in that fight all the way,\" she continued.
Warren took the stage to Dolly Parton's \"9 to 5,\" before making her official announcement and kicking off a seven-state tour through several early voting states. She made her debut as a presidential candidate in Dover, New Hampshire, before heading to Iowa on Sunday. She continues on to South Carolina, Georgia, Nevada and California this weekend.
Weld, the former governor of Massachusetts and 2016 Libertarian vice presidential candidate, is attending a New Hampshire Institute of Politics \"Politics and Eggs\" event on Friday.
WMUR reported Wednesday that Weld's remarks at the event will include a \"substantial move towards a challenge to President Trump,\" citing Republican sources. Weld recently re-registered in Massachusetts as a member of the Republican party.
Williamson, a popular self-help author and one-time congressional candidate, was profiled by ABC News' \"Nightline\" this week, where she explained her desire to get into the presidential race, despite her lack of political experience.
\"I think what we need in the White House is more a visionary than just a political mechanic,\" she said. \"America is morally off course ... More than anything else in America today, we need a moral and spiritual awakening.\"
\"We need an awakening of American minds,\" Williamson added. \"Show me any traditional politician who's had a 35-year career at that kind of awakening. That's a skill set. That's experience. That's expertise. And I believe it is a qualification that would -- you would do very well to put in the White House.\"
Yang is spending his own money to demonstrate his proposed \"Freedom Dividend,\" a form of universal basic income that would pay all Americans 18 years or older $1,000 per month. One family each in Iowa and New Hampshire are already receiving $1,000 per month from the entrepreneur, according to CBS News.
