The race to win the US Democratic primary and beat Donald Trump: Where does it stand?

A record 23 Democratic candidates of diverse genders, races and political backgrounds are lining up to try to stop Republican US President Donald Trump from winning a second term in the 2020 elections.

Though much will change in the more than 500 days to go before polls open, a nationwide Fox News poll released this week showed former vice president Joe Biden leading the pack.

Here are five questions and answers as the campaign season in the United States begins:

HOW WILL IT PLAY OUT?

While the field will certainly shrink once the first votes of primary season are cast in Iowa in February, some candidates may call it quits after debates begin later this month.

An unprecedented prime-time broadcast from Miami awaits: over two nights, June 26 and 27, millions of Americans will tune in to the highly-anticipated debut debate of the cycle.

The Democratic National Committee set lenient standards for the special event broadcast live on NBC News, MSNBC and Spanish-language Telemundo, meaning a whopping 20 candidates - 10 per night - will be squaring off in what is likely to be an unwieldy event.

Raise your hand if you think Joe Biden gets the nomination.

I read that and intoxicated woman was arrested driving a small kids vehilce, just figured she stole the Dem presidential hopefuls clown car. So where do they stand is a great question. If stupid was an art form they have a bunch of Picasso’s running. IMO

I don’t see the Idiot Biden going the distance without the kind of help the DNC gave Hillary.

Fwiw & imo, it makes ZERO difference which leftist NITWIT that the DIMocRATS finally nominate, as NONE of them have a prayer of defeating DJT in an at least HALF-honest election.

IF the DIMs were just a bit smarter, they would save their time, $$$$$$$$ & effort & simply admit that NO DIMocRAT can win in 2020.

There's the rub. Massive fraud is being put in place, as the dems have already publicized plans about a 2020 Florida recount. The pushing of polls showing any democrat beating Trump is to bolster any recounts in states that are less than 1% margin. They won't let the next one slip away like they did in 2016.
