Get breaking news alerts and special reports. The news and stories that matter, delivered weekday mornings.The signs are everywhere that the 2020 Democratic presidential field will be much larger than usual — maybe larger than ever.
The last time so many Democrats were lining up to run was in 1976, the first election held after the Watergate scandal forced Richard Nixon from office. There are parallels between then and now that are worth considering, especially since the chaos of '76 ultimately produced a most improbable president.
President-elect Jimmy Carter and wife Rosalynn at a victory party in Atlanta, Ga., on Nov. 3, 1976. Carter won the presidential election by 297 electoral votes to 241 for Gerald Ford.The most formidable figure in Democratic politics was Sen. Ted Kennedy of Massachusetts, who was 44 at the time.
To Democratic voters, it turned out, Carter's backwater roots and seeming lack of artifice were an exhilarating match for the moment."If you support me," he told them,"I'll never make you ashamed. You'll never be disappointed. I have nothing to conceal. I'll never tell a lie." Vietnam and Watergate were recent and raw; Carter was offering himself as the antidote to all of the scheming and secrecy that had driven the country off course.
