Thread: Who Will Be the 2020 Democrat Nominee?

  1. #1

    Question Who Will Be the 2020 Democrat Nominee?

    This article says Warren, Biden, Booker, Harris and Sanders are all getting ready to run.

    Ms. Warren, 69, now leads a small advance guard of Democrats who appear to be moving deliberately toward challenging President Trump. Former Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr., wielding a political network cultivated over decades, has been reasserting himself as a party leader, while Senators Cory Booker of New Jersey and Kamala Harris of California have emerged as fresher-faced messengers for the midterms. And Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont, the runner-up in the 2016 primaries, has been acting like a candidate as he considers another race.

    All five have been traveling the country, raising money for Democrats and gauging the appeal of their personalities and favorite themes. As a group, they are a strikingly heterogeneous array of rivals for Mr. Trump, embodying the Democratic Party’s options for defining itself: They are distinguished by gender and race, span three decades in age and traverse the ideological and tonal spectrum between combative Democratic socialism and consensus-minded incrementalism.

    Yet absent, at least so far, is either an obvious political phenom like former President Barack Obama or an establishment-backed juggernaut in the mold of Hillary Clinton. Unlike the last few Democratic primaries, the unsettled race evokes the sprawling nomination fights of earlier decades — lacking a dominant figure and seemingly inviting new leaders to rise.

    Warren/Biden most likely.

    I would guess Biden/Warren, someone as vice president with 2 different candidates sounds weird.

    Midterms mean way too much this time around to even guess as to what the democrat party will look like this time next year. If we're looking at a blue dud in the midterms, there will be a complete overhaul of the democrat party before 2020. Anything before this November is nothing but pontification.

    I meant more that it would be a combination of those two, Biden could be the prez or maybe they want to run a woman again, either way it's a solid ticket.

    I think it would be stronger with Biden in front. We still have never had a female Vice President, so it would still be a first with Warren too.

    I like Harris a lot. I hope she’s involved.

    Democrats will gain control of the house in November, by the way.

    If it is Biden/Warren I would vote Democrat next election instead of Independent but if they put up Booker/Harris I will probably vote Independent unless something special happens.

    So you support the white/red ticket but not the black/black ticket?

    Racist.
