United States: Democrats back to the primary moment

United States : At more than eighteen months of the presidential election, the first candidates of the opposition party make themselves known. Among them, emerging personalities and for the moment a majority of women, waiting for the trucks to declare themselves.

The race for the Democratic nomination for the 2020 presidential election promises to be one of the most open for twenty-five years. Also competitive: new candidates come to clutter the ring every week or almost, to more than a year of the first primary, scheduled for February 3, 2020 in Iowa. And the longest: at the same time, four years ago, no Republican or Democrat had yet declared his candidacy. In an attempt to take over the White House from Donald Trump, seven Democrats are already in the ranks. Among them, with the notable exception of Elizabeth Warren, are few national figures. The first challenge, common to all, will be to fill a strong deficit of notoriety beyond their stronghold.
