The 2020 United States presidential election, scheduled for Tuesday,
November 3, 2020, will be the 59th quadrennial U.S. presidential
election . Voters will select presidential electors who in turn will
either elect a new president and vice president through the electoral
college or reelect the incumbents. The series of presidential primary
elections and caucuses are likely to be held during the first six
months of 2020. This nominating process is also an indirect election,
where voters cast ballots selecting a slate of delegates to a political
party's nominating convention, who then in turn elect their party's
presidential nominee.
President Donald Trump of the Republican Party, who was elected in
2016 , is seeking reelection to a second term. The winner of the 2020
presidential election is scheduled to be inaugurated on January 20,
2021.
Background
Procedure
Further information: United States presidential election
Article Two of the United States Constitution states that for a person
to serve as President of the United States the individual must be a
natural-born citizen of the United States, at least 35 years old and a
United States resident for at least 14 years. Candidates for the
presidency typically seek the nomination of one of the various
political parties of the United States, in which case each party
develops a method (such as a primary election) to choose the
candidate the party deems best suited to run for the position. The
primary elections are usually indirect elections where voters cast
ballots for a slate of party delegates pledged to a particular
candidate. The party's delegates then officially nominate a candidate
to run on the party's behalf. The nominee then personally chooses a
vice presidential running mate to form that party's presidential ticket
(with the exception of the Libertarian Party , which nominates its vice
presidential candidate by delegate vote regardless of the nominee's
preference). The general election in November is also an indirect
election, where voters cast ballots for a slate of members of the
Electoral College ; these electors then directly elect the President and
Vice President.[1]
In August 2018, the Democratic National Committee voted to disallow
superdelegates from voting on the first ballot of the nominating
process, beginning with the 2020 election. This would require a
candidate to win a majority of pledged delegates from the assorted
primary elections in order to win the party's nomination. The last
time this did not occur was the nomination of Adlai Stevenson II at
the 1952 Democratic National Convention .[2]
The Twenty-second Amendment to the Constitution states that an
individual can not be elected to the presidency more than twice. This
prohibits former Presidents Bill Clinton, George W. Bush , and Barack
Obama from being elected president again. Former president Jimmy
Carter (a nonagenarian ), having served a single term as president, is
not constitutionally prohibited from being elected to another term in
the 2020 election.
Demographic trends
Further information: Demography of the United States
The age group of what will then be people in the 18 to 45-year-old
bracket is expected to represent just under 40 percent of the United
States' eligible voters in 2020. It is expected that more than 30
percent of eligible American voters will be nonwhite . [3]
A bipartisan report indicates that changes in voter demographics
since the 2016 election could impact the results of the 2020 election.
African Americans , Hispanics, Asians /others, and "whites with a
college degree" are expected to all increase their percentage of
national eligible voters by 2020, while "whites without a college
degree" will decrease. This shift is potentially an advantage for the
Democratic nominee, however due to geographical differences, this
could still lead to President Trump (or a different Republican
nominee) winning the Electoral College while still losing the popular
vote , possibly by an even larger margin than in 2016.[4]
Additionally, Washington, D.C. may lower its voting age from 18 to
16. Legislation was introduced by City Councilman Charles Allen in
April 2018, with a public hearing in June, and a vote by the end of
the year. Unlike other cities with a voting age of 16 such as Berkeley,
California , this would allow 16 and 17-year-olds to vote for President
of the United States for the first time in 2020. Allen said that he was
inspired by the high school students that participated in the March
for Our Lives , which occurred at the capital in March.[5]
Simultaneous elections
Further information: United States Senate elections, 2020 and
United States House of Representatives elections, 2020
The presidential election will occur at the same time as elections to
the Senate and the House of Representatives. Several states will also
hold state gubernatorial and state legislative elections. Following the
election, the United States House will redistribute the seats among
the 50 states based on the results of the 2020 United States Census,
and the states will conduct a redistricting of Congressional and state
legislative districts. In most states, the governor and the state
legislature conduct the redistricting (although some states have
redistricting commissions), and often a party that wins a presidential
election experiences a coattail effect that also helps other candidates
of that party win elections. [6] Therefore, the party that wins the 2020
presidential election could also win a significant advantage in the
drawing of new Congressional and state legislative districts that
would stay in effect until the 2032 elections. [7]

Nominations
Republican Party
Further information: 2020 Republican Party presidential primaries
Donald Trump is eligible to run for reelection and intends to do so.[8]
His reelection campaign has been ongoing since his victory in 2016,
leading pundits to describe his tactic of holding rallies continuously
throughout his presidency as a "never-ending campaign". [9] On
January 20, 2017, at 5:11 PM, he submitted a letter as a substitute of
FEC Form 2, for which he had reached the legal threshold for filing, in
compliance with the Federal Election Campaign Act.[10]
Beginning in August 2017, reports arose that members of the
Republican Party were preparing a "shadow campaign" against Trump,
particularly from the moderate or establishment wings of the
party. [11] A poor [ according to whom? ] showing for the GOP in the
2018 midterm elections may lead to an influx of ambitious politicians
vying to reclaim the nomination from Trump, as late Arizona Senator
John McCain said that "[Republicans] see weakness in this
president." Maine Senator Susan Collins , Kentucky Senator Rand
Paul, and former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie have all
expressed doubts that Trump will be the 2020 nominee, with Collins
stating "it's too difficult to say." [12][13] Meanwhile, Senator Jeff Flake
has claimed that Trump is "inviting" a primary challenger by the way
he is governing.[14] Longtime political strategist Roger Stone,
however, predicts that Trump may not seek a second term if he
succeeds in keeping all of his campaign promises and "[makes]
America great again", à la James K. Polk.[15]

Democratic Party
Main article: 2020 Democratic Party presidential primaries
After Hillary Clinton 's loss in the previous election, the Democratic
Party was seen largely as leaderless [26] and fractured between the
centrist Clinton wing and the more progressive Sanders wing of the
party, echoing the rift brought up in the 2016 primary election. [27][28]
This establishment/progressive divide was reflected in several
elections leading up to the 2020 primaries, most notably in 2017 with
the election for DNC Chair between Tom Perez and Sanders-backed
progressive Keith Ellison:[29] Perez was elected Chairman, but Ellison
was appointed as the Deputy Chair , a largely ceremonial role. In 2018,
several U.S. House districts that Democrats hope to gain from the
Republican majority had contentious primary elections. These
clashes were described by Politico 's Elena Schneider as a
"Democratic civil war." [30] Meanwhile, there has been a general shift
to the left in regards to college tuition, healthcare, and immigration
among Democrats in the Senate, likely to build up credentials for the
upcoming primary election.[31][32]
Perez has commented that the 2020 primary field will likely go into
double-digits, rivaling the size of the 2016 GOP primary , which
consisted of 17 major candidates. [33] In the wake of the Me Too
movement , several female candidates are expected to enter the race,
increasing the likelihood of the Democrats nominating a woman for
the second time in a row. [34] Speculation also mounted that
Democrats' best bet to defeat President Trump would be to nominate
their own celebrity or businessperson with no government
experience, most notably Oprah Winfrey after her memorable speech
at the 75th Golden Globe Awards .[35]
The topic of age has been brought up among the most likely front-
runners: former Vice President Joe Biden , Massachusetts Senator
Elizabeth Warren , and Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders; who will be
78, 71, and 79 respectively on inauguration day. Former Senate
Minority Leader Harry Reid (who will be aged 81 on inauguration day)
described the trio as "an old folks' home", expressing a need for
fresh faces to step up and lead the party. [36]

2020 United States presidential election
The 2020 United States presidential election, scheduled for Tuesday,
November 3, 2020, will be the 59th quadrennial U.S. presidential
election . Voters will select presidential electors who in turn will
either elect a new president and vice president through the electoral
college or reelect the incumbents. The series of presidential primary
elections and caucuses are likely to be held during the first six
months of 2020. This nominating process is also an indirect election,
where voters cast ballots selecting a slate of delegates to a political
party's nominating convention, who then in turn elect their party's
presidential nominee.
President Donald Trump of the Republican Party, who was elected in
2016 , is seeking reelection to a second term. The winner of the 2020
presidential election is scheduled to be inaugurated on January 20,
2021.
Background
Procedure
Further information: United States presidential election
Article Two of the United States Constitution states that for a person
to serve as President of the United States the individual must be a
natural-born citizen of the United States, at least 35 years old and a
United States resident for at least 14 years. Candidates for the
presidency typically seek the nomination of one of the various
political parties of the United States, in which case each party
develops a method (such as a primary election) to choose the
candidate the party deems best suited to run for the position. The
primary elections are usually indirect elections where voters cast
ballots for a slate of party delegates pledged to a particular
candidate. The party's delegates then officially nominate a candidate
to run on the party's behalf. The nominee then personally chooses a
vice presidential running mate to form that party's presidential ticket
(with the exception of the Libertarian Party , which nominates its vice
presidential candidate by delegate vote regardless of the nominee's
preference). The general election in November is also an indirect
election, where voters cast ballots for a slate of members of the
Electoral College ; these electors then directly elect the President and
Vice President.[1]
In August 2018, the Democratic National Committee voted to disallow
superdelegates from voting on the first ballot of the nominating
process, beginning with the 2020 election. This would require a
candidate to win a majority of pledged delegates from the assorted
primary elections in order to win the party's nomination. The last
time this did not occur was the nomination of Adlai Stevenson II at
the 1952 Democratic National Convention .[2]
The Twenty-second Amendment to the Constitution states that an
individual can not be elected to the presidency more than twice. This
prohibits former Presidents Bill Clinton, George W. Bush , and Barack
Obama from being elected president again. Former president Jimmy
Carter (a nonagenarian ), having served a single term as president, is
not constitutionally prohibited from being elected to another term in
the 2020 election.
Demographic trends
Further information: Demography of the United States
The age group of what will then be people in the 18 to 45-year-old
bracket is expected to represent just under 40 percent of the United
States' eligible voters in 2020. It is expected that more than 30
percent of eligible American voters will be nonwhite . [3]
A bipartisan report indicates that changes in voter demographics
since the 2016 election could impact the results of the 2020 election.
African Americans , Hispanics, Asians /others, and "whites with a
college degree" are expected to all increase their percentage of
national eligible voters by 2020, while "whites without a college
degree" will decrease. This shift is potentially an advantage for the
Democratic nominee, however due to geographical differences, this
could still lead to President Trump (or a different Republican
nominee) winning the Electoral College while still losing the popular
vote , possibly by an even larger margin than in 2016.[4]
Additionally, Washington, D.C. may lower its voting age from 18 to
16. Legislation was introduced by City Councilman Charles Allen in
April 2018, with a public hearing in June, and a vote by the end of
the year. Unlike other cities with a voting age of 16 such as Berkeley,
California , this would allow 16 and 17-year-olds to vote for President
of the United States for the first time in 2020. Allen said that he was
inspired by the high school students that participated in the March
for Our Lives , which occurred at the capital in March.[5]
Simultaneous elections
Further information: United States Senate elections, 2020 and
United States House of Representatives elections, 2020
The presidential election will occur at the same time as elections to
the Senate and the House of Representatives. Several states will also
hold state gubernatorial and state legislative elections. Following the
election, the United States House will redistribute the seats among
the 50 states based on the results of the 2020 United States Census,
and the states will conduct a redistricting of Congressional and state
legislative districts. In most states, the governor and the state
legislature conduct the redistricting (although some states have
redistricting commissions), and often a party that wins a presidential
election experiences a coattail effect that also helps other candidates
of that party win elections. [6] Therefore, the party that wins the 2020
presidential election could also win a significant advantage in the
drawing of new Congressional and state legislative districts that
would stay in effect until the 2032 elections. [7]

Republican Party

Donald Trump is eligible to run for reelection and intends to do so.[8]
His reelection campaign has been ongoing since his victory in 2016,
leading pundits to describe his tactic of holding rallies continuously
throughout his presidency as a "never-ending campaign". [9] On
January 20, 2017, at 5:11 PM, he submitted a letter as a substitute of
FEC Form 2, for which he had reached the legal threshold for filing, in
compliance with the Federal Election Campaign Act.[10]
Beginning in August 2017, reports arose that members of the
Republican Party were preparing a "shadow campaign" against Trump,
particularly from the moderate or establishment wings of the
party. [11] A poor [ according to whom? ] showing for the GOP in the
2018 midterm elections may lead to an influx of ambitious politicians
vying to reclaim the nomination from Trump, as late Arizona Senator
John McCain said that "[Republicans] see weakness in this
president." Maine Senator Susan Collins , Kentucky Senator Rand
Paul, and former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie have all
expressed doubts that Trump will be the 2020 nominee, with Collins
stating "it's too difficult to say." [12][13] Meanwhile, Senator Jeff Flake
has claimed that Trump is "inviting" a primary challenger by the way
he is governing.[14] Longtime political strategist Roger Stone,
however, predicts that Trump may not seek a second term if he
succeeds in keeping all of his campaign promises and "[makes]
America great again", à la James K. Polk.[15]

Democratic Party
Main article: 2020 Democratic Party presidential primaries
After Hillary Clinton 's loss in the previous election, the Democratic
Party was seen largely as leaderless [26] and fractured between the
centrist Clinton wing and the more progressive Sanders wing of the
party, echoing the rift brought up in the 2016 primary election. [27][28]
This establishment/progressive divide was reflected in several
elections leading up to the 2020 primaries, most notably in 2017 with
the election for DNC Chair between Tom Perez and Sanders-backed
progressive Keith Ellison:[29] Perez was elected Chairman, but Ellison
was appointed as the Deputy Chair , a largely ceremonial role. In 2018,
several U.S. House districts that Democrats hope to gain from the
Republican majority had contentious primary elections. These
clashes were described by Politico 's Elena Schneider as a
"Democratic civil war." [30] Meanwhile, there has been a general shift
to the left in regards to college tuition, healthcare, and immigration
among Democrats in the Senate, likely to build up credentials for the
upcoming primary election.[31][32]
Perez has commented that the 2020 primary field will likely go into
double-digits, rivaling the size of the 2016 GOP primary , which
consisted of 17 major candidates. [33] In the wake of the Me Too
movement , several female candidates are expected to enter the race,
increasing the likelihood of the Democrats nominating a woman for
the second time in a row. [34] Speculation also mounted that
Democrats' best bet to defeat President Trump would be to nominate
their own celebrity or businessperson with no government
experience, most notably Oprah Winfrey after her memorable speech
at the 75th Golden Globe Awards .[35]
The topic of age has been brought up among the most likely front-
runners: former Vice President Joe Biden , Massachusetts Senator
Elizabeth Warren , and Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders; who will be
78, 71, and 79 respectively on inauguration day. Former Senate
Minority Leader Harry Reid (who will be aged 81 on inauguration day)
described the trio as "an old folks' home", expressing a need for
fresh faces to step up and lead the party. [36]
