The most famous member of the election race to date. A Democratic senator from California, a former state attorney general, was elected to Congress in 2016, and in 2018 she became famous throughout the country during the scandal over the appointment of Brett Cavanaugh to the Supreme Court - the tough manner in which Harris questioned the candidate was something like rehearsal before presidential nomination. Harris is called the rising star of the Democratic Party and one of the most dangerous opponents for Donald Trump.

Elizabeth Warren

Massachusetts senator, a consistent supporter of the Democratic Party’s “progressive bloc”, longtime critic of Donald Trump, and one of the most respected figures in American politics. Announcing participation in the race, 69-year-old Warren immediately went on a tour of Iowa, where the first caucuses, the nomination meeting for the 2020 campaign of the year, will take place. Her application is already called one of the most serious - but recently, for many Americans, her name is associated not with the traditional Warren agenda (fighting economic inequality, protecting the middle class, restraining corporations), but with the scandal around its origin. The senator claimed that among her ancestors there were Cherokee Indians or a Delaware, and in October 2018 tried to prove this with a DNA test (analysis showed that the Senator had a very high probability an Indian ancestor ten generations ago; stated that they are not ready on the basis of these data to rank it among their people).

She began her career in the House of Representatives from one of the few conservative districts in New York. In 2009, Gillibrand moved to the Senate - taking the seat vacated after the appointment of Hillary Clinton as Secretary of State. Gradually, Gillibrand's political views shifted to the left, and now they write about her as the hope of "progressive" voters, and someone even accuses the senator of left-wing populism.

Julian Castro

In 2014, Castro, who is now 44, became the youngest member of Barack Obama’s office, heading the US Housing Department. Prior to that, he served as mayor of San Antonio, Texas, and was considered one of the most promising young democrats. However, after Trump's election, Castro's career stalled - and in 2018, he refused to participate in the elections to the Senate, where he had to compete with Ted Cruz.

Racing president will also be Donald Trump. He announced his nomination back in February 2017, just a month after the inauguration.

Among Trump's potential rivals, not mentioned above, is a former Maryland congressman John Delaney, who admits that too few are aware of his existence today; 37-year-old Talsi Gabbard, a veteran of the armed forces and a supporter of Bernie Sanders; veteran and former Virginia senator Richard Oujeda and businessman Andrew Young, who calls for providing Americans with an unconditional income in 1000 dollars.

Who else can nominate, and who is likely to refuse to participate in the race

According to forecasts The New York TimesIn the coming months, 2020 American politicians may also declare their intention to participate in the 20 presidential campaign. New Jersey senator Corey Booker and former Colorado Governor John Hickenlooper are among the most likely candidates. Less likely to be a Senator from Vermont Bernie Sanders and former US Vice President Joe Biden. Even less likely to participate in the election of billionaire Michael Bloomberg.
