Who's running for president in 2020? A complete list:
Following Democrats' sweeping victories in the House of Representatives during the 2018 midterm elections, many in the party are eagerly anticipating the 2020 presidential election and the opportunity to unseat President Donald Trump.
Bennet caught people's attention with a viral speech on the Senate floor during the government shutdown in January. He he tore into Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, for the role he said he played during another government shutdown in 2013. "Folks, America is an idea. An idea that’s stronger than any army, bigger than any ocean, more powerful than any dictator or tyrant. It gives hope to the most desperate people on earth, and guarantees that everyone is treated with dignity, and gives hate no safe harbor. It instills the belief in everyone in this country that no matter where you start in life, there’s nothing you can’t achieve if you work at it," he said later in his announcement video.
"I think a lot of folks are beginning to feel that the forces that are tearing us apart in this country are stronger than the forces that tie us together. I don't believe that," Booker said on"The View" the day he announced his campaign."So, I'm running to restore our sense of common purpose, to focus on the common pain that we have all over this country."
Before becoming governor, Bullock served as a two-term attorney general for Montana. He fought to separate"dark money" and politics, challenging the the Citizens United decision in the Supreme Court in 2012. The Court eventually ruled against him in a 5-4 decision on American Tradition Partnership, Inc. v. Bullock. He continues to fight"dark money," according to his announcement video.
Buttigieg first made a national name for himself with a bid for Democratic National Committee chair in 2017. At 37 years old, he is the youngest candidate in the 2020 race, and could also become the first gay man to be elected president. "The forces of change in our country today are tectonic," Buttigieg said."Forces that help to explain what made this current presidency even possible. That's why, this time, it's not just about winning an election — it's about winning an era."
De Blasio, who is in his second term, joins a crowded field of nearly two dozen Democrats seeking to move into the White House. The central theme of de Blasio's campaign will be"working people first." While Delaney, a millionaire entrepreneur and businessman before arriving in Congress, does not have the name recognition of the other likely candidates, he has already traveled to all of Iowa's 99 counties –- a right of passage for many caucus hopefuls -- and frequently discusses his pragmatic approach and desire to bridge political gaps.
Early on in her campaign, the first American Samoan and the first Hindu member of Congress faced questions over her work in the early 2000's for an anti-gay organization run by her father, and her defense of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, with whom she controversially met in 2017. Following months of speculation surrounding the California junior senator, Harris officially announced her 2020 candidacy on ABC's"Good Morning America" in January.
"I'm running for president because we need dreamers in Washington, but we also need to get things done," he says."I've proven again and again I can bring people together to produce the progressive change Washington has failed to deliver." The Washington governor is currently serving his second term in Olympia after more than two decades as a member of Congress and said that while he is proud of efforts to raise the state's minimum wage and increase access to early childhood education, his presidential bid will prioritize climate change, which he labeled an"existential threat" during his launch event.
The Minnesota senator is viewed favorably by some in Democratic circles for her ability to perform strongly in her home state -- part of a Midwestern region that helped President Trump to victory in 2016.The little-known Florida mayor joined the growing list of 2020 presidential candidates, announcing his candidacy on March 28 despite facing an uphill climb for his bid.
During the 2018 midterms, Moulton raised over $4 million through his Serve America PAC to support Democratic candidates running in battleground states. Before announcing his candidacy, he had already laid groundwork for his 2020 campaign, already visiting Iowa, South Carolina, New Hampshire and Nevada.
Within days, O'Rourke's campaign announced it raised over $6.1 million in the first 24 hours following his announcement, topping Sen. Bernie Sanders' previous high-water mark of $5.9 million.The Ohio Democrat, who announced his candidacy on ABC's"The View" on April 4, bills himself as a someone who can unify the progressive wings of the Democratic Party with the more middle-of-the-road working-class voters.
In an email to supporters announcing the launch of his campaign, Sanders further took aim at President Trump, using some of the starkest language of a Democratic candidate up to that point. President Donald Trump's re-election campaign announced in early April that it raised more than $30 million in the first quarter of 2019, a total that outpaces all of his Democratic rivals and indicates he will be well-resourced in his bid for a second term in the Oval Office.
A prolific fundraiser whose staffers spent time in a number of early primary states assisting other Democrats, Warren admitted in September that following the midterms she would"take a hard look at running for president," becoming one of the first major names to take steps towards a run.
