From Washington to Trump: How 2020 Democrats stack up.
WASHINGTON - After two sets of debates and months of campaigning, the Democrats’ field of 2020 presidential hopefuls is still a massive herd of people and personalities – even after former Gov. John Hickenlooper’sthis week. So this week, the Data Download has gathered a set of “getting to know you” data looking at where the 20 are from, how they fit into their families and where they went to school.
New York leads the way on the list, with five candidates hailing from that state – Sens. Bernie Sanders and Kirsten Gillibrand, Mayor Bill de Blasio and businessmen Andrew Yang and Tom Steyer. Three of the candidates were born in Texas – former H.U.D. Secretary Julian Castro, former Rep. Beto O’Rourke and author Marianne Williamson. One was born in Pennsylvania – former Vice President Joe Biden.in the country. Rep. Tulsi Gabbard was born in American Samoa.
Overall, however, the Democratic field stands out for the number of first-born and last-born children in its ranks – seven and 10 candidates respectively. Historically, 27 percent of U.S. presidents did their undergraduate work at Ivy schools, with a heavy reliance on Harvard. Five presidents were Harvard men.
Sen. Kamala Harris also stands out from the pack, and from presidential history as being the only graduate from Howard University, a historically black institution.
