Washington: Former US Vice President Joe Biden, Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren, and Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders have emerged as the Democratic forerunners who will face off against incumbent President Donald Trump in the 2020 election. The pool of Democratic forerunners vying for the nomination is one of the largest in recent memory, with 10 candidates itching to take on Trump in November 2020, Xinhua news agency. In the lead is Biden, followed by Sanders and Warren.
California Senator Kamala Harris, who is of Indian and Jamaican descent, is at the top of the list of those who could conceivably overtake the current top three, followed by South Bend, Indiana, Mayor Pete Buttigieg. However, the top three candidates have a number of hurdles to overcome, according to political analysts. For Biden, his biggest problem is the fact that he is in his mid-70s. Many younger Democratic voters would prefer a younger candidate and a fresher face, rather than someone who already spent eight years in the White House. The former Vice President is also particularly prone to gaffes, which appear to be catching up with him, as a number of news outlets have highlighted a few tall tales he told last week. (IANS)
