Its not just President Trump and his fellow Republicans who are getting into high gear for the 2020 presidential elections. Democrats of all types have been hinting that they are considering taking on the incumbent.
It is possible to organize the potential Democratic candidates into six basic categories, just to keep better track of who’s who and what’s what.
Senators include Kamala Harris and Bernie Sanders.
Congressmen are represented by Tulsi Gabbard, Joe Kennedy and Beto O’Rourke.
There are a few governors getting into the action, with Andrew Cuomo and Deval Patrick.
Even a few mayors are considering their own chances, notably Michael Bloomberg.
Joe Biden, Eric Holder and a few others from the Obama years might get involved, too.
Of course we cant forget the outsiders, like Trump himself, such as Oprah Winfrey and Michael Avenatti.
If nothing else, the 2020 race for the President of the United States will be entertaining, in a confusing and treacherous sort of way.
