Het strid i andra debatten mellan demokrater väntas

The 2020 Democratic Party presidential primaries and caucuses will be a series of electoral contests organized by the Democratic Party to select the approximately 3,768 pledged delegates to the Democratic National Convention, who by pledged votes shall elect the Democratic nominee for President of the United States in the 2020 U.S. presidential election. The elections are scheduled to take place from February to June 2020, within all fifty U.S. states, the District of Columbia, five U.S. territories, and Democrats Abroad. Independently of the result of primaries and caucuses, the Democratic Party will, from its group of party leaders and elected officials, also appoint 764 unpledged delegates (superdelegates) to participate in its national convention. In contrast to all previous election cycles, superdelegates will no longer have the right to cast decisive votes at the convention's first ballot for the presidential nomination (limiting their voting rights to either non-decisive votes on the first ballot or decisive votes for subsequent ballots on a contested convention).Twenty-seven major candidates have entered the race for the 2020 Democratic Party presidential nomination. Two of them, Richard Ojeda and Eric Swalwell, have opted to withdraw so far. This is the largest field of presidential candidates for any political party in the post-reform era of American history, exceeding the field of 17 major candidates that sought the Republican presidential nomination in 2016.
