Seems early to me, but people apparently are already planning. Sorry if it's a paywall (it may or may not be).

I'll paste Dem senators. There are also governors, and more. Plus Reps.

So many senators could run for president that they might need a debate stage all their own.

Some already ran in 2020, including Senator Cory Booker of New Jersey and Senator Amy Klobuchar of Minnesota, who is running for governor in 2026.

Senator Mark Kelly of Arizona, a finalist to be the party’s 2024 vice-presidential nominee, has made little secret of his national ambitions. Senator Chris Van Hollen of Maryland has already been to Iowa. A host of younger senators have made moves to suggest they could run, including Ruben Gallego of Arizona, Chris Murphy of Connecticut and Elissa Slotkin of Michigan.

Both Georgia senators, Jon Ossoff and Raphael Warnock, have been discussed as presidential timber.

I've ordered Sheeple *not* to express any preference until the outcome is obvious.

Sheeple will comply.

Some of them will run just to increase their speaking-fees "Presidential Candidate" can at times raise the fee.

ALSO, as you people deserve - some will run so that they can raise money for a totally different campaign. Hopefully pocket some of it. Hopefully be rewarded by the monied interests that rip you people off. Hopefully -- anything from ad buys to printing has some kickbacks or patronage too. Normal in both parties and I applaud it.

The rest.....anything is possible.

Will be interesting......


There was a time I felt Gavin is peaking too early but now I still feel he's in it. Beshear is still in it but he'd need Gavin to stumble a bit. Sadly for me - Rahm Emanuel --I don't think he's 'fuzzy' enough for stupid Americans but I'd love to have him as President.

And as I've said for 2 years...... AOC - -- don't underestimate her. Since I've been saying that---- see her numbers be it for Presidential Nomination or for Senate ;)

Kamala Harris won't be the nominee. Democrats will not nominate a black woman.
