"The Hill interviewed nearly a dozen prominent Democrats to find out who has captured the party’s attention in recent months and who has fallen out of favor."

Mea culpa: According to The Hill,

Fewer than 12 "Prominent Democrats"= Democrats

The original link was to a secondary source That relied on a publication famous for its "inspired story lines" based on sketchy "data". The Hill based its opinion on speculation of fewer than a dozen anonymous Democrats and the sourced assertion that "there’s also no clear standout in the potential field".

Newsweek then repeated a click bait headline not supported by facts:

"Bernie Sanders will Face Donald Trump in 2020 Election, Democrats Say"

.

Hopefully the young writer of the piece originally linked to (Nicole Gooodkind) did not also pen Newsweek's misleading headline. It is unfortunate that she relied on a largely unsourced story at The Hill and the further musings of progressive strategist Brad Bannon in writing her story.
