Each of these moves works in concert with the others. Pre-existing malapportionment helps Republicans capture the presidency despite losing a majority of voters. This allows them to build a Supreme Court majority that rules in their favor on key questions of ballot access, voter participation and campaign finance.

Republican lawmakers in the states use the legal leeway from rulings like Shelby County v. Holder to erect new barriers to voting, while Republicans in Washington look for new ways to embed their partisan interests in the electoral system. At the same time, their wealthy allies take advantage of campaign finance loopholes to spend huge sums on behalf of Republican candidates and conservative causes. And on the chance that Democrats overcome these obstacles and win political power after the election of Barack Obama, for example Republicans break the norms of politics to keep them from actually governing the way they want to.

Mitch McConnells leadership in the Senate during the years he had a majority and in particular, his blockade of Obamas judicial nominations, including the Supreme Court nominee Merrick Garland, is a paradigmatic example of the latter strategy. But Republican lawmakers in several states have gone even further, using legislative majorities to strip constitutional authority from newly elected Democratic executives. Republicans in Kansas introduced legislation earlier this week that would strip the recently elected Democratic governor, Laura Kelly, of her power to fill vacancies in top state offices. They cite fairness as a reason to support this proposal, although a leading Democratic critic called it morally wrong and an example of legislating for narrow partisan gain.

Wisconsin Republicans attempted something similar after Tony Evers, a Democrat, unseated the Republican governor, Scott Walker. They advanced bills to restrict his ability to run public benefits programs and to curb his authority to set rules on implementation of state laws. They also established a new legislative power to intervene in litigation challenging state laws and wrested the right to decide on legal action against the Affordable Care Act from the attorney generals office, placing it with the heavily gerrymandered legislatures budget committee. A judge eventually blocked these efforts, but Republican state leaders have appealed the ruling. And Republicans in Michigan made a similar push to rein in executive power after Democrats won all three statewide races, in an attempt to keep Democrats from overturning Republican actions once they took office.

Its clear, then, that from the White House and its allies on the Supreme Court down to individual state lawmakers, conservative Republicans have decided that their agenda cannot survive fair competition on equal ground. They reject efforts at electoral expansion early voting, automatic registration and mail-in balloting and embrace strategies that put the burden on voters themselves.

Americans have long struggled over the scope of voting and representation. Democracy is and always will be a fight. And the lines of this particular conflict are clear. Rather than try to expand our democracy or even preserve it as it stands, Republicans are fighting for a smaller, narrower one that favors their voters over all others so that their power and the interests they serve become untouchable.

The Republican War on Democracy

The 2020 Republican Party presidential primaries and caucuses will be a series of electoral contests taking place within all 50 U.S. states, the District of Columbia, and five U.S. territories. Sanctioned by the Republican Party, these elections are designed to select the 2,472 delegates to send to the Republican National Convention, who will select the Republican Party's nominee for President of the United States in the 2020 election. The delegates also approve the party platform and vice-presidential nominee.

President Donald Trump formally launched his bid for re-election on February 17, 2017. He was followed by former Governor of Massachusetts Bill Weld, who announced his campaign on April 15, 2019. This is the first time that an incumbent U.S. president has faced a major primary challenge from their own party since the 1980 election, when Senator Ted Kennedy challenged incumbent Jimmy Carter. [1]

Numerous pundits, journalists and politicians have speculated that the 2020 election cycle might see a significant Republican Party challenger to President Donald Trump, namely because of his historic unpopularity in polls, his association with allegations of Russian interference in the 2016 United States elections and his support of unpopular policies and decisions.[2][3][4]

Several Republican critics of the Trump Administration have hinted at or are reportedly considering challenging Trump in 2020. In January 2019, former Republican Governor of Massachusetts and 2016 Libertarian vice presidential nominee Bill Weld changed his party affiliation back to Republican.[5] On February 15, 2019, Weld announced the formation of a 2020 presidential exploratory committee,[6] and later announced his candidacy on April 15, 2019.[7]

Former Ohio Governor and 2016 presidential candidate John Kasich has been the subject of rumors of a possible bipartisan ticket with Democratic former Colorado Governor John Hickenlooper.[8] Kasich has denied that he would form such a ticket.[9] In November 2018, however, Kasich asserted that he was "very seriously" considering a White House bid in 2020.[10]

Following his 2018 reelection victory, incumbent Maryland Governor Larry Hogan was the subject of presidential speculation, particularly after his second inaugural address. In January 2019, reports indicated that Hogan was considering a potential 2020 bid for the White House.[11][12] Hogan has met with commentator Bill Kristol and strategist Sarah Longwell, both prominent Never-Trump conservatives.[12]

Several Trump critics within the GOP have stated that they will not challenge him in 2020. Former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney won the election to replace outgoing U.S. Senator Orrin Hatch (R-UT), which would give him a significant platform from which to challenge Trump;[13] in January 2019, however, Romney stated that he would not run against Trump in 2020.[14] Other Republican Trump critics who have said that they will not seek to unseat Trump in 2020 include 2016 presidential candidate Carly Fiorina[15] and former U.S. Sen. Jeff Flake.[16]

Individuals in this section have expressed an interest in running for president within the last six months.

The individuals in this section have been the subject of 2020 presidential speculation, but have publicly stated that they will not seek the White House in 2020.

The following anticipated primary and caucus dates may change depending on legislation passed before the scheduled primary dates.[90]

Bids for the Republican National Convention were solicited in the fall of 2017, with finalists being announced early the following spring. On July 18, 2018, Charlotte, North Carolina's Spectrum Center was chosen unanimously as the site of the convention.[83]

This is an overview of the money used by each campaign as it is reported to the Federal Election Commission (FEC) and released on April 15, 2019. Totals raised include loans from the candidate and transfers from other campaign committees.

The first of the Republican Presidents was Abraham Lincoln who took office on May 4th, 1861. As Americas 16th president, he is most famous for leading the nation through its worst internal conflict, the Civil War. Unfortunately, he is also famous for being the nations first president to be assassinated. A lesser known achievement of his is bringing strength and organization to the Republican Party. As a result of his efforts, the Republican Party is often referred to as the Party of Lincoln.

Beginning with Lincoln, there have been nineteen Republicans to serve as President of the United States. Like Lincoln, some of them are famous figures of American history. Others are relatively forgotten by todays generations. Some have been mired in controversy and some have had tough decisions forced upon them during times of national crisis. Anyone who has ever said being president is an easy job never held the office. This site is dedicated to those Republican Presidents who have served our nation in its highest office.
