Which Democrats Are Running In 2020 — And Which Still Might

Declared candidates for the 2020 Democratic presidential nomination include Pete Buttigieg, Julián Castro and Elizabeth Warren

This could be one of the largest Democratic presidential fields in history. There are dozens of people who have talked about getting in: from mayors, senators and governors, to business leaders, venture capitalists and even a spiritual guru.

There are nine candidates in the race so far, with nearly two dozen others still thinking about it and another already dropping out. It's a big change from 2016 when a total of five major Democratic candidates ran.

For Democrats, it's also one of the most consequential elections ever, with the opportunity to deny President Trump re-election after a term that has outraged the left. The candidates come from different parts of the country and have differing approaches on how to win in 2020 and beat Trump.

Here's a guide to who's in, who might be in, and who is taking a pass on the 2020 Democratic presidential nomination.
