Who might run against president Donald Trump in 2020? Trump is a republican so he is not likely to be challenged for the presidency by his own party but John Kasich, former governor of Ohio is considered a potential republican primary challenger.
We’ve already told you a bit about the potential front runner, Bernie Sanders and shown you several of president Obama’s staff and friends that could run for president of the United States of America in 2020.
Even Beto O’Rourke, who we’ve mentioned before and who lost his senate race to Ted Cruz, is, for some reason, being encouraged to run for president of the United States of America in 2020!
Now let’s look at just a few more members of the class of 2020!
Elizabeth Warren!
Elizabeth Warren is a senator representing Massachusetts and she is very likely to run for president of the United States of America in 2020.
Many people like her policies but she is best known for her consumer advocacy work.
She supports Bernie Sanders’ Medicare for All bill-this seems to be a very important policy for some democrats.
CNN ranks her at #1 in their 2020 rankings for candidate for president of the United States of America, and New York Magazine says Warren is already dominating the race for 2020!
But the Boston Globe newspaper says don’t run, Senator Warren, don’t run!
Now Elizabeth has proposed the Accountable Capitalism Act. In essence her ACA asks
“If corporations are considered to be legally equivalent to people, then shouldn’t they also have a legal obligation to consider the impacts of their choices on a broader set of stakeholders beyond their shareholders?”
Not so long ago, corporate leaders understood they had a stake in the country’s prosperity. Will Warren’s ACA return the USA to those bygone days?
Something else to consider-Rolling Stone magazine asks why do many democrats have second thoughts about running a female candidate like Elizabeth Warren in 2020?
Interesting question-will this effect Elizabeth Warren in 2020? Will this effect all women candidates?
Here at the Strangest Adventures we wonder can Elizabeth become president of the United States of America in 2020?
Tulsi Gabbard!
Speaking of women presidential candidates, Samoan-American veteran Tulsi Gabbard is also running for president of the United States of America in 2020.
She represents Hawaii in the house of representatives. We’ve mentioned her experience and her potential as a president of the United States before.
A reminder-Tulsi Gabbard is considered a progressive candidate-she quit working for the DNC in 2016 so she could endorse Bernie Sanders. In fact she also supports his Medicare for All act.
Some people are all ready for Tulsi Gabbard to become president of the United States in 2020.
She has a few obstacles to overcome, especially her previous background as a very conservative republican seemingly obsessed with stopping gay marriage.
She has turned her back on those beliefs though and changed her stance to support same-sex marriage in 2012.
In fact Tulsi Gabbard began her 2020 presidential campaign by apologizing for past LGBTQ remarks.
New York representative Sean Patrick Maloney, the first openly gay member of Congress, came to the defense of Tulsi-is that and her apology enough?
Could Tulsi become president of the United States in 2020? Will she become president of the United States in 2020?
John Delaney ?
Yes John Delaney! John Delaney is the first democrat to declare he will be running for president of the United States of America in 2020. He represents Maryland’s sixth district in the US house of representatives. The 2020 presidential campaign of John Delaney, the U.S. Representative representing Maryland's 6th congressional district, was announced on July 28, 2017.
Most people missed this but John Delaney was the first prominent Democrat to announce a campaign for the 2020 U.S. presidential election.
John explains why he wants to run for president and you if you like civility and bipartisanship you might like Delaney.
John prefers universal healthcare over Medicare for All. He says all Americans should have healthcare as a right.
Will John Delaney become president of the United States of America in 2020? Maybe not but he is the first declared candidate-we will discover if that gives him any edge towards victory.
Richard Ojeda!
Richard Ojeda, a highly decorated 24 year veteran of the US army, previously served one term in West Virginia’s senate; he lost his election bid for the West Virginia’s 3rd congressional district in the 2018 midterm election.
After he lost he declared he was running for president of the United States of America in 2020, on November 12, 2018. That makes him the second democrat to declare his candidacy.
You can see Richard Ojeda’s platform here.
As for healthcare, Richard believes in a public option.” I think we should give people the ability to buy into Medicare”.
Richard rose to prominence after he aggressively supported a teacher strike in West Virginia.
Nearly a year later, in 2019, Ojeda got involved in another teacher’s strike, this time in Los Angeles California, and wrote in the Intercept about his thoughts on the subject of teacher’s strikes.
Ojeda has taken positions that were not popular in West Virginia, a state that overwhelmingly elected Donald Trump. For instance, he voted down an anti-abortion bill and he was instrumental in passing the state’s medical marijuana law.
But Richard Ojeda has one huge problem-he voted for Donald Trump. Will being the only democrat to vote for Trump cause problems for his campaign? Can voters forgive that vote? Should they forgive that vote?
Richard Ojeda was the second democrat to declare his candidacy for president of the United States of America in 2020. Can his early start help him win? No one knows the future, anything is possible but his presidency seems highly unlikely.
Vermin Supreme!
Vermin Supreme was born in Massachusetts and represents no one. Vermin is a performance artist known for “running for office” since 1987.
CNN calls Vermin Supreme the protester who would be president.
Vermin Supreme says He 'Paved The Way For Donald Trump'
All indications are he is a fake candidate that seems to be calling attention to the absurdities of politics and is also know for his distinctive headwear-a rubber boot.
One of Vermin’s most famous promises-a pony for all Americans.
Will this perennial candidate for president of the United States of America “run” in 2020? Probably. Will Vermin Supreme remind the USA that politics can be absurd? Probably.
Vermin Supreme seems interesting but here at the Strangest Adventures we are glad that he never won an election. The USA could do better.
