Below is an updated list of the top 10 Democratic presidential contenders for 2020, as ranked by The Telegraph:

1. Kamala Harris of California – This member of the U.S. Senate continues to rank No. 1 on our list because she is a 50-something, African-American, female professional from California. This is especially true because she has the endorsement of Golden State Gov. Gavin Newsom – and because the 2020 California primary is set for March 3, about three months earlier in the cycle in comparison to 2016.

2. Beto O’Rourke of Texas – His youth, good looks and charisma reportedly remind many liberals of Presidents Barack Obama and John F. Kennedy. When the “Beto” of media fame comes to New Hampshire, we will be quite interested to hear what he has to say. This is because no one seems to know what he will actually advocate.

3. Joe Biden of Delaware – His eight years as vice president from 2009-17 followed a 36-year stint as a member of the U.S. Senate. The lingering question seems to be: Has the Democratic Party of 2019 simply left the 70-something-year-old Biden in the dust?

4. Bernie Sanders of Vermont – The New Hampshire Democratic primary’s 2016 champion is back in action. Sanders proudly declares himself a democratic socialist, while claiming many of his left-wing ideas regarding health care, education, regulation and wealth redistribution are now mainstream.

5. Amy Klobuchar of Minnesota – Since making her campaign announcement amid a snowstorm, Klobuchar has steadily moved up our list. The early exit by Ohio’s Sherrod Brown from the race likely helps Klobuchar, as this leaves her to carry the flag for U.S. Senate members representing the crucial battleground region of the Midwest.

6. Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts – A recent University of New Hampshire poll should alarm the Warren campaign. The fact that only 7 percent of Granite State Democrats chose her from a list of candidates – compared to 26 percent for Sanders, 22 percent for Biden and 10 percent for Harris – does not bode well for Warren when she represents a neighboring state.

7. Kirsten Gillibrand of New York – A staunch feminist with established connections to New York City-based campaign donors, Gillibrand remains a formidable contender.

8. Cory Booker of New Jersey – Booker drew an audience of more than 200 people to his Nashua “house party” last month. He continues meeting with voters in early primary states.

9. Andrew Yang of New York – In seeking to be the first president of Asian descent, Yang is gaining traction while advocating $1,000 monthly payments to each and every American.

10. Julian Castro of Texas – This Latino formerly served as the secretary of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, as well as mayor of San Antonio.
