Ten 2020 Democrats who dropped out, and who’s next
So many Democrats were confident they could beat President Trump in November 2020 that more than 25 major candidates eventually entered the party’s primary fray.
Now, a bit longer than a month from the Feb. 3 Iowa caucuses, the nation’s first nominating contest, the field of top-tier contenders has shrunk to former Vice President Joe Biden, South Bend, Indiana, Mayor Pete Buttigieg, Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, and Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren. Several other mid-tier candidates also could make a play in Iowa and other early states, including Minnesota Sen. Amy Klobuchar, and potentially Michael Bloomberg, the former mayor of New York City.
But the 2020 Democratic race has already had its share of candidate casualties. Here are 10 Democratic also-rans whose campaigns didn’t make it to the New Year.
