Among the other major candidates were entrepreneur Andrew Yang, Kirsten Gillibrand, one of New York's two current senators, and Bill de Blasio, the mayor of New York City. However, on August 29, 2019, Gillibrand dropped out of the race. Bill de Blasio as well dropped out on September 20, 2019, after failing to qualify for the 4th Democratic debate.
HMS Fantome was an Cadmus-class sloop launched in 1901, transferred to the Royal Australian Navy in 1914, returned to the Royal Navy in 1920, and sold in 1924. She was the fourth ship of the Royal Navy to bear the name, which is from the French fantôme, meaning "ghost".
Leading footballers such as Gareth Bale and Zlatan Ibrahimovic are consulting their lawyers about the use of their names and images in video games.
AC Milan striker Ibrahimovic claimed on social media
that EA Sports' Fifa games were "making profit on my name and face without any agreement all these years".
Bale, on loan at Tottenham, joined in, using the hashtag "#TimeToInvestigate".
A source close to the Wales forward claimed players and agents around the world are also seeking legal advice.
That source pointed to an example in Brazil
from June, where players won a settlement of 6.5m Brazilian real - a little over £900,000 - after the Union of Athletes of Santa Catarina brought a case against the game's developers, EA Sports, in court.
Paul Futcher (25 September 1956 – 23 November 2016) was an English professional footballer who had a distinguished career as a defender in the English Football League, for England under 21s and as manager of several non-league clubs.
He is regarded as a club legend by Grimsby Town who signed him at the age of 35 when he was apparently past his best. He went on to be described as one of the club's greatest ever players. Prior to his time with Grimsby he had enjoyed lengthy spells with Luton Town, Oldham Athletic and Barnsley as well as playing for Chester, Manchester City, Derby County and Halifax Town. After leaving Grimsby in 1994 he played for Dundalk before moving into management.

"The Hindu Times" is a song by English rock band Oasis. It was written by the band's lead guitarist Noel Gallagher, and was released as the lead single from their fifth studio album, Heathen Chemistry, on 15 April 2002. On the album, it segues directly into the next track, "Force of Nature."
The song peaked at number one on the UK Singles Chart becoming the band's sixth number-one single in their native country, remaining on top for one week before being dislodged by the Sugababes' "Freak Like Me". The song also topped the charts in Canada, Italy and Scotland, and reached the top 10 in Denmark, Finland, Ireland, Norway, and Spain. This is their first single to featured former Heavy Stereo frontman Gem Archer (rhythm guitarist) and then-former Ride frontman Andy Bell (bassist).
Bruno Fernandes scored twice as Manchester United beat Istanbul Basaksehir on Tuesday to close in on a place in the knockout stages of the Champions League.
Fernandes opened the scoring early on for the hosts with a stunning 20-yard finish before tapping in a second.
Marcus Rashford scored from the penalty spot to make it 3-0 before half-time.
Deniz Turuc scored a free-kick late on for the visitors but Daniel James side-footed in to round off the victory.
The result means Manchester United are top of Group H with nine points, three ahead of second-place Paris St-Germain.
Tributes have been paid to "immense" former France rugby union international Christophe Dominici, who has died aged 48.
Dominici was best known for helping France knock New Zealand out of the 1999 Rugby World Cup.
A witness saw him climb the roof of a disused building at Saint-Cloud park, near Paris, on Tuesday before falling, officials say.
Prosecutors have opened an inquiry into the cause of his death.
"So much sadness. Christophe Dominici was an immense player, an artist. His sudden death is a shock," said sports minister Roxana Maracineanu.
Dominici played 67 times for his country and won the French championship five times with Stade Français before retiring in 2008. In recent years he had worked as a pundit for French radio and TV.
His 1999 World Cup semi-final performance spurred France to a sensational comeback, as he darted down the left of the pitch and seized the ball ahead of two New Zealand defenders to score a try. The All Blacks were leading the game at the time and had the brilliant Jonah Lomu in their line-up.
Known as Domi, he was 1.72m (5ft 6in) tall and earned a reputation for weaving runs that could change the course of a match. He played in four Six Nations-winning teams, including two Grand Slams.
His death has stunned the world of rugby. France's rugby federation said the national sport was "in mourning after the tragic death of our wing Christophe Dominici".
It added: "We're particularly thinking of his family and loved ones."
A similar message came from the other big rugby union nations. The Welsh Rugby Union said: "Adieu, Christophe Dominici... what a player."
Tech entrepreneur Elon Musk has topped Microsoft founder Bill Gates to become the world's second richest man after a meteoric rise in his personal fortune.
Mr Musk's net worth jumped by $7.2bn (£5.4bn) to $128bn after shares in his car firm Tesla surged.
Only Amazon founder Jeff Bezos is richer, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index.
It comes after news Tesla shares will be added to the S&P 500, one of the main share indexes in the US.
That triggered a fresh wave of buying of the electric carmaker's shares, sending the company's market value above $500bn and boosting the value of Mr Musk's holding in the business.
Ivan Toney scored his 11th goal of the season to give Brentford a narrow victory at in-form Barnsley.
The striker glanced Mathias Jensen's corner across goal and into the bottom right-hand corner midway through the second half.
In a game of few chances, Toney was denied a second from close range by Jack Walton and the Tykes keeper then saved a late effort from substitute Marcus Forss.
It was a first win in four for the Bees, last season's beaten play-off finalists, who had drawn four of their previous five games.
Thomas Frank's side move up to eighth and are two points off the top six, although the four clubs in the play-off places are all in action on Wednesday.
Football legend Diego Maradona, one of the greatest players of all time, has died at the age of 60.
The former Argentina attacking midfielder and manager suffered a heart attack at his Buenos Aires home.
He had successful surgery on a brain blood clot earlier in November and was to be treated for alcohol dependency.
Maradona was captain when Argentina won the 1986 World Cup, scoring the famous 'Hand of God' goal against England in the quarter-finals.

In a statement on social media, the Argentine Football Association expressed "its deepest sorrow for the death of our legend", adding: "You will always be in our hearts."
Declaring three days of national mourning, Alberto Fernandez, the president of Argentina, said: "You took us to the top of the world. You made us immensely happy. You were the greatest of them all.
"Thank you for having existed, Diego. We're going to miss you all our lives."
Maradona played for Barcelona and Napoli during his club career, winning two Serie A titles with the Italian side.
He scored 34 goals in 91 appearances for Argentina, representing them in four World Cups.
Maradona led his country to the 1990 final in Italy, where they were beaten by West Germany, before captaining them again in the United States in 1994, but was sent home after failing a drugs test for ephedrine.
During the second half of his career, Maradona struggled with cocaine addiction and was banned for 15 months after testing positive for the drug in 1991.
He retired from professional football in 1997, on his 37th birthday, during his second stint at Argentine giants Boca Juniors.
Having briefly managed two sides in Argentina during his playing career, Maradona was appointed head coach of the national team in 2008 and left after the 2010 World Cup, where his side were beaten by Germany in the quarter-finals.
He subsequently managed teams in the United Arab Emirates and Mexico and was in charge of Gimnasia y Esgrima in Argentina's top flight at the time of his death.
Brazil legend Pele led tributes to Maradona, writing on Twitter: "What sad news. I lost a great friend and the world lost a legend. There is still much to be said, but for now, may God give strength to family members. One day, I hope we can play ball together in the sky."

Millions of retirees will see the future value of their pension cut owing to a planned change in the way payments are calculated from 2030.
Many of those with so-called defined benefit workplace pensions see their pension payments increase each year in line with the rising cost of living.
The way this annual rise is calculated is expected to become less generous from February 2030.
Chancellor Rishi Sunak ruled out making a change any earlier.
