WASHINGTON _ If you thought American politics moved at a frenetic pace in 2019, brace yourself for 2020.
Over the course of the next 308 days, Donald Trump is poised to become the first president in history to face a Senate impeachment trial and then seek reelection. Democrats will formally nominate one of the 15 candidates currently running to face off against Trump. And then a record number of Americans are expected to go to the polls in November to choose between the two.
Along the way, the Democratic nominee will select a running mate, the Supreme Court is expected to weigh in on cases with major political implications, including whether the president must turn over financial records to Congress and whether he is immune from criminal investigations, and security experts are warning there could be unprecedented foreign and domestic election meddling.
