Who will run in 2020? The full list of Democrats vying to take on Trump


Illustrations by Alberto MirandaThe 2020 Democratic primary is poised to be the largest and most diverse in recent memory. With half a dozen candidates already in the race and dozens more considering it, Democrats will have no shortage of candidates auditioning for the role of Trump-slayer. By the time of the first Democratic debate in June 2019, the potential candidates could stretch over four decades in age, feature a historic number of women and include multiple African Americans, at least one Latino, a gay navy veteran, a Hindu – and a vegan. Among the speculative list of contenders are political veterans – senators, members of Congress, governors and small- and big-town mayors – as well as political novices – businessmen, entrepreneurs and even a new age author – all of whom span the ideological spectrum from consensus-minded-pragmatists to Democratic socialists. There is no clear frontrunner and Trump has already begun taunting his would-be opponents, setting the stage for a wild, unpredictable, rough-and-tumble primary season.
