Here's the relevant quote:

So, at last, he's publicly saying that he's made up his mind about what to do.  He just hasn't publicly revealed what the decision is yet (though he's apparently ruled out a run for Senate, according to those close to him, so I guess the implication is that it'll be a presidential run).

I'm not scared of Biden. He is on top of the polls purely because of name recognition and his Obama bromance. He hasn't ran a campaign since his horrible last presidential bid and so I highly doubt he has a groundgame like Harris or Warren, not to mention Bernie. And let's be honest, Biden is not the guy people are hyped for. They like him, but would he move the people to the polls? I doubt it.

Beto meanwhile is my 2nd choice after Bernie. But to be honest I already had the feeling during his senate campaign that this was a little too much for him. He didn't had that calmness in major interviews Bernie or Harris present, he wasn't as fierce in the debates I expect Booker and Warren to be. I don't know. I think he is great at campaigning with the people directly and I think he would make a great president but my guts tell me this is not the campaign he wins.

I can't imagine how betrayed Washingtonians must feel. They finally manage to get the trifecta, and this guy goes off on a vanity campaign he has no chance of winning.

It's not like the Dems are gonna lose the Governorship any time soon.

But they could lose the State Senate.

Won't get anywhere in the primaries, but he's be a great choice for EPA in the next administration. It would show that they're serious about wanting to tackle it.

I think Yang & Buttigieg make the debates over Inslee. I don’t see him getting more than the 1% thresholdi or the 60,000 donors. I’m starting to think Bullock won’t make it either given how late he’s announcing. It would definitely be something to see gadlfly’s like Yang be in the debate while sitting Governors end up not making it.

Meh, he'll be out of the presidential race by very early 2020 at the latest.

Here’s the relevant quote, which also says he’s “expected to decide in March”, despite his previously stated self-imposed February deadline:

Btw, Inslee's announcement comes days after we got a poll that had him as literally the only choice among 19 names listed that got 0% of the vote in a Democratic primary matchup:
