US President Trump’s 2020 re-election is not assured
Wednesday, June 26, 2019
Significance
The next president will be chosen on November 3, 2020.
Impacts
- Much media attention will focus on the Democratic candidates from January until at least April, amid early primaries.
- A brokered Democratic convention would extend this until July, preventing Trump from setting the agenda until afterwards.
- State laws requiring Trump to release his tax returns to appear on the ballot could hurt Republican congressional candidates.
