2020 presidential election: Track which candidates are running

The Democrats who have already taken their names out of the running after speculation that they'd join the pack: Michael Avenatti, Deval Patrick and Tom Steyer.

The latest:

• Sen. Kamala Harris announced she was running for president on "Good Morning America" on Jan. 21.

The big picture: Expect an arms race of big ideas over the coming year.

• There's a groundswell of Democratic support for candidates who will push socialized health care and major action on climate change and who will break with centrism on immigration and social issues.
• This will extend to campaign finance, racial justice, drug legalization, voting rights and how to dismantle the Trump administration's legacy (as Trump did to Obama).

Be smart: Every single indicator is going off that this will not be a friendly election to milquetoast or moderation.
