Donna Brazile predicts that 'literally over 25 people' will run against Trump in 2020

Former DNC interim chair Donna Brazile is making a bold prediction for the 2020 presidential race.

In a conversation with MSNBC’s Chris Matthews she addressed potential Democratic contenders.

"I predict tonight that there will be literally over 25 people who will consider running for president. Perhaps Joe Biden, Bernie Sanders."

When pressed as to whether 75-year-old Biden or 76-year-old Sanders would be too old to run for president in an election that's still nearly three years away, Brazile said no.

"I think the Democratic Party should allow everybody to run, everybody who wants to run. Let's not dog people just because of their age."

Meet some of the Democrats who might challenge Trump:

At 70 years of age on his Inauguration Day, President Donald Trump became the oldest president to enter the Oval Office earlier this year.

Brazile said Biden and Sanders should be able to run if they can “reinvigorate” the party or bring fresh ideas to the table, then mentioning Hillary Clinton or Senator Elizabeth Warren could also run if they wanted.

Other rumored contenders for the 2020 race on the Cemocratic side include Senators Cory Booker of New Jersey, Kirsten Gillibrand of New York and Kamala Harris of California.
