The size of the holes in the hearts of millions of Americans, whose dreams of having their first female president were shattered on November 9th, cannot be overestimated. If Hillary Clinton isn't getting the honor, who will? In a new America that many, including First Lady Michelle Obama, are calling "hopeless," desperate Americans are already looking ahead to the presidential election of 2020, waiting for someone to put an end to Donald Trump's movement. Democrats with household names, like Vice President Joe Biden and Senator Bernie Sanders, have already gone on record saying that they aren't ruling out White House runs in the next few years. Unfortunately, none of the potential candidates mentioned so far by the media are women. But, Trump hasn't even been inaugurated yet. Years will pass before legitimate talk of the 2020 election will arise in the media. In the meantime, here are five politicians who, in the coming years, may seek to become the first female president:

1. Nikki Haley (Republican)

South Carolina's current governor is slowly climbing up the scale of widely-recognized American politicians. She was one of the most-talked about potential running mates for Donald Trump, before she told the press she wasn't interested in the job. Yet, she's been a favorite in the establishment and the Republican Party for years. So, speculation that she may someday run for the White House isn't totally without reason.

2. Elizabeth Warren (Democrat)

Here's a Democrat who quickly shot to fame due to her level of outspokenness this past election cycle. The senator from Massachusetts was a firm supporter of Hillary Clinton, and a loud, angry critic of Donald Trump's campaign. These qualities have made her a household name as an brave fighter in the eyes of progressives and an annoying pest to conservatives. Donald Trump even referred to her, on numerous occasions, as "Goofy Elizabeth Warren." Of course, being made fun of Donald Trump is probably an indicator of brilliance to some people. Many are speculating that she will someday seek the presidency. In fact, she was the first person whose wagon many Democrats jumped onto immediately following Hillary Clinton's concession of the election to Donald Trump. She has certainly made a name for herself. Will she take advantage of it in 2020? We'll just have to wait and see.

3. Kelly Ayotte (Republican)

The Republican senator from New Hampshire was considered a potential candidate for this past presidential race, but she decided it not to, this time around. She was a quiet supporter of Donald Trump's presidential ticket until the Access Hollywood tape recording of him talking very disrespectfully about women was released in early October. She is quoted saying that instead of voting for Trump, she would write in Mike Pence on her ballot. But, as another female politician who is becoming more nationally-recognized, she is still considered a potential future contender for the Republican ticket for the presidency.

4. Condoleezza Rice (Republican)

Yup. Condi might actually do it. The former secretary of state under the Bush administration, Condoleezza Rice is a symbol for the triumph of black women everywhere, even though she is a Republican. Though she hasn't been in the public sphere too much as of late, she was briefly considered by the Trump campaign as a potential running mate. She was quick to express her disinterest in the job. However, many are predicting that with her unmatched name recognition, her hard-to-call-racist-or-sexist characteristic of being a black woman, and her general expertise, she is the perfect candidate to lead the GOP in 2020. Carlos Watson, a reporter with Ozy.com, predicted while Hillary Clinton was still the predicted winner of the 2016 race that a Rice ticket in 2020 would easily win against an incumbent Clinton. Though Trump is the president-elect, she would still be a great choice to bring a return to normalcy to the GOP and America as a whole, following the age of Trump.
