Democratic Primary Dropouts 2020 Election | QT Politics

The Democratic Primary contest for the 2020 Election has seen dozens of candidates. Some of them you know well. Some, you're getting to know a lot better. And others, are, well, probably not worth bothering with.

The primary season began way back on July 28th, 2017, when John Delaney officially launched his campaign. And while, somehow, Delaney is still in the race, crowded field has begun to thin.

In this video, I'm going to pay homage to candidates who have dropped out so far, and speculate a little bit about why their campaigns never gained traction.

Who's dropped out?

In loving tribute to the departed campaigns:

Bill de Blasio 2020
Kirsten Gillibrand 2020
Seth Moulton 2020
Jay Inslee 2020
John Hickenlooper 2020
Mike Gravel 2020
Eric Swalwell 2020
And, Richard Ojeda 2020
