John Delaney, a US representative from Maryland, was a candidate for the 2020 Democratic presidential nomination. He announced his campaign on July 28, 2017, one of the first to declare for 2020. This deck of cards was collected at the Delaney campaign headquarters in Des Moines shortly after he announced the suspension of his campaign on January 31, 2020, days before the Iowa Caucuses held on February 3. The playing sides of the cards have no decoration with the exception of the two jokers which include a caricature of Donald Trump, the presumptive nominee for re-election on the Republican ticket.
