The 2020 elections began at the conclusion of the 2018 midterms and oh boy have things really taken off.
It began with Senator Warren announcing her run for the presidency and with former Vice President Joe Biden stating he'll "look into it." However there are deep problems with both would be candidates, Warren will/can not get over her DNA test failure (which showed that she is much less Native American then she claimed). This would give Republicans wonderful campaign ads as Warren is a major part of this new, far left progressive (which has turned regressive) Democratic party. The problem with Joe Biden is that his own party doesn't like him. Many left wing news organization such as the Washington Post and the Huffington Post have claimed Biden is "a creep" and that many female staffers felt "uncomfortable" around him (turns out there's more evidence on Biden then Kavanaugh). However while this is a major problem, a bigger problem democrats face is that Biden isn't left enough, he's much to center. When your "thought leader" is Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (who just stated she wants to tax Americans 70% for her "New Green Deal") you need to be left of Marx to reach anywhere near her outspoken basis (or just have failed an economics class). A third possible candidate is Beto O'Rourke, who lost to Sen. Ted Cruz (a possible Republican candidate but chances are he won't run until 2024). The problem is that fans of socialism prefer Bernie Sanders over this supposedly "new Kennedy". Yet the problem with Sanders is that accusations of sexual assault are running rampant against his 2016 presidential campaign which could lead his supporters to going to O'Rourke but even with these supporters O'Rourke isn't center enough like Biden to get those independent voters. All in all there are about "two dozen" democrats looking at their chances in 2020 so things are bound to get interesting.
