2020 Election
The 2020 Presidential Election will be the polar opposite of 2016. In 2020 we see north of 20 Democrats candidates as we saw the same flood of Republican candidates in 2016. Donald Trump 'should' be the 2020 Republican nominee as the incumbent President, but, given the 'never Trumper' crowd in the Republican party, he received three challengers; Mark Sanford, William Weld and Joe Walsh. All three have suspended their campaigns due to poor early primary results. Below is the 2020 Democrat field, as it developed over the last year. Joe Biden is the only remaining active candidate for the Democrat nominations and leaves him as the presumptive 2020 Democrat Presidential nominee. Bernie Sanders suspended his campaign, but will leave his name on the ballot for remaining primaries to try and collect more delegates to help his negotiating power at the Democrat convention. Howard Schultz, a Democrat, announced his candidacy, but had problems with the leftward lean of the Democrat party & they with him. He decided (9/6/19) not to run as an Independent candidate. Others who were competing, but have suspended their campaigns include: Eric Swalwell (7/8/19) , John Hickenlooper (8/22/19), Jay Inslee (8/22/19), Seth Moulton (8/24/19), Kirsten Gillibrand (8/27/19), Bill DeBlasio (9/20/19), Tim Ryan (11/1/19), Beto O'Rourke (11/2/19), Wayne Messam (11/20/19), Steve Bullock (12/2/19), Kamala Harris (12/3/19), Joe Sestak (12/6/19), Julian Castro (1/2/20), Marianne Williamson (1/10/20), Cory Booker (1/13/20), John Delaney (1/31/20), Michael Bennet (2/11/20), Andrew Yang (2/11/20), Deval Patrick (2/12/20), Tom Steyer (2/29/20), Pete Buttigieg (3/1/20), Amy Klobuchar (3/2/20), Michael Bloomberg (3/4/20), Elizabeth Warren (3/5/20), Tulsi Gabbard (3/19/20), Bernie Sanders (4/8/20).
