Top 10 Best Potential Democratic Candidates in the 2020 U.S. Presidential Election

Elizabeth Warren

Elizabeth Ann Warren (born June 22, 1949) is an American academic and politician. She is a member of the Democratic Party and serves as the senior United States Senator from Massachusetts. Warren is known for her work on consumer protection, economic opportunity, and social justice.

It's too late. The Democrats have already blown it for 2020. They should start working on 2024, and maybe then there will be a chance.

Nobody should work full time and still be in poverty.

Cory Booker

Cory Booker has a strong, optimistic voice and a desire to unite the nation. He aims to address pressing issues like immigration, gun control, and prison reform.

Andrew Cuomo

Everyone likes his handling of the pandemic.

Deval Patrick

Joe Biden

Joseph Robinette Biden Jr. (born November 20, 1942) is an American politician who served as the 46th president of the United States from 2021 to 2025. A member of the Democratic Party, he served as the 47th vice president from 2009 to 2017 under President Barack Obama and represented Delaware in the... read more

Trump is only three years younger, so they're both too old! In any event, Biden is far better than Trump.

He is the only one with any shot at all, but he is getting a little too old.

Bernie Sanders

Bernard "Bernie" Sanders (born 1941) is an independent U.S. Senator from Vermont, first elected in 2006 and serving since 2007.

Tom Steyer

Kirsten Gillibrand

Kristen Gillibrand wasn't very well-known, but her platform and advocacy for issues affecting women were really strong.

Jay Nixon

John Hickenlooper

Pete Buttigieg

Amy Klobuchar

Probably one of the most likely candidates to be nominated as President. She is compassionate, caring, and willing to work with both sides to create good legislation. Amy Klobuchar is a very impressive Senator from Minnesota, and she could be an even better President.

Charlie Crist

Andrew Yang

He is very forward-thinking and plans ahead for the long term. Although he is not my first choice for President, he seems like a decent person with the potential to advocate for some great ideas.

Andrew Yang is smart and correct, and he genuinely cares about the people. These are three traits that Trump lacks.

Tulsi Gabbard

Tulsi Gabbard, born April 12, 1981, is an American politician. She served as the U.S. Representative for Hawaii's 2nd Congressional District from January 3, 2013, to January 3, 2021. Gabbard left the Democratic Party on October 11, 2022, and is now an Independent.

Michael Bloomberg

Some of Bloomberg's comments were controversial, and Warren had every right to criticize them. However, despite his past statements, I think he'd be a really great president. He's been both a Republican and a Democrat and was successful as Mayor of New York City, despite controversial tactics such as stop-and-frisk.
He is a staunch advocate for the environment and climate change. He wrote a book about how cities can solve the climate crisis, supports phasing out coal, and moving to renewable energy. Additionally, he advocates for gun control and expanding broadband internet to rural areas.

Marianne Williamson

Jay Inslee

Jay Inslee is probably one of the best Governors in the United States. He is very dedicated to solving climate change and seems like an all-around decent person.

John Kerry

John Forbes Kerry (born December 11, 1943) is an American diplomat and politician. He served as the 68th U.S. Secretary of State from 2013 to 2017 and later as the first U.S. Special Presidential Envoy for Climate from January 2021 until March 6, 2024.
