The 2020 Democratic primary was a hard fought contest between numerous candidates.
Hillary Clinton's sound defeat in the 2016 presidential election left the Democratic Party leaderless. Thanks to a "civil war" for Party dominance between Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer's Neoliberals and 2016 runner-up Bernie Sanders' Democratic-Socialists, 2020 wasn't the proverbial slam-dunk Democrats had hoped for, despite President Trump's high popularity.
