The Democratic field for 2020 currently has 10 official members, but polls indicate that several people leading the pack have not even officially declared their candidacy: Joe Biden, Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren.

Jim Braude was joined by Shannon O'Brien, former state treasurer and Democratic candidate for governor; Shaynah Barnes, a former Brockton City Councilor who served as a Clinton delegate during the Democratic National Convention; and State Rep. Jon Santiago, who recently defeated Byron Rushing to represent the 9th Suffolk District.
