The next US presidential race

There have been many Democratic politicians entering the presidential race at the moment. Barack Obama’s Vice President, Joe Biden, announced his entry to the race; he has been considered as an influential candidate who has got a very high chance (maybe the highest) chance to win the Democratic inner presidential race.Maybe many Democratic Party candidates believe that if they can win the party race, the chance of winning against Donald Trump, the automatic Republican president candidate for 2020, is extremely high, even 100%; this may be the reason that there are so many candidates for the next president. Furthermore, Donald Trump also set an example for all politicians and people who want to be politicians that everyone has a chance to win despite their background or experience. This can inspire more people entering this race. The diverse in the US also make more politicians, particularly the Democratic politicans, feel a need to be the next president to unite the nation and bring the US back to its pre-Trump track.
On the other hand, Donald Trump is not someone who likes to be challenged, he has posted many tweets attacking the other side’s candidates. Trump has his advantages in the presidential election. First, the US economic performance during his term so far is relatively good, and beats many other major economies’ performances. Secondly, the unemployment rate is dropping and the wage level is increasing. This will make him popular with some working class. Thirdly, the stock market performance has helped to generate huge returns for many wealthy people, and he also issued tax cuts, so the wealthy class has multiple reasons to love him. Fourthly, his Republican Party has given him the full support while the Democratic Party has some degree of disagreement inside its party.
Overall, the race for the 2020 US president has begun. Despite the wide unpopularity about Trump on most US news media, there is a chance which cannot be ignored for Trump to win the election next year.
