On the other hand, it is also said that there may be an Underwood clash in the battle for the vacant presidential seat. With that said, a major storyline of "House of Cards" season 5 might be a presidential race between Claire Underwood (played by Robin Wright) and Frank Underwood (played by Kevin Spacey).
