The “Who is running in 2020?” tea leaves thread

[NYSforKennedy2024]

Was probably already posted though I just read that Rep. Joe Kennedy III was on The Daily Show with Trevor Noah last week, always a possible sign considering the main discussion point was Trump.

Kamala Harris has started emailing her subscribers a survey about topics in the country, at the end asking for a donation and thanks you for "standing up to Trump".

Considering she isn't up for reelection until 2022, Kamala 2020 is all but confirmed at this point.

Kamala Harris announces her support for Sanders' Single Payer Medicare bill. Possible move to appeal with progressives better in 2020?

Democratic polling percentages from that aforementioned "Everyone is Running" article.

Biden - 51%
Blumenthal - 42%
Booker - 42%
Cuban - 42%
Delaney - 38%
Harris - 39%
Sanders - 51%
Warren - 45%

Dear god, have we learned nothing?

[NYSforKennedy2024]

Yes, those were the PPP percentages.

I find it shocking that Blumenthal and Cuban somehow have a higher percentage than Harris.

I guess the whole "run celebrities/elites" thing is something we're still going with.

Are there any speculative 2020 candidates that have been known to communicate with him in the past?

Lasry is affiliated with Avenue Capital, who has paid Blumenthal, Wyden, Feingold, Schumer, Kaine, Kander, Duckworth, Leahy, and Bennet.

Kirsten Gillibrand rounds out the 2020 contenders going on Pod Save America

As they comment (somewhat puckishly) just before the ad break, the only serious 2020 contender left who hasn't gone on is Bernie Sanders, and I personally don't believe he's actually running.

Gillibrand sounds like an 80s Valley Girl

She's cool.
Trump's not.
She's from the Valley.
Trump's not.

NJ Pharma Bro 2020, no thank you.

Hillary's Onward Together PAC begins email campaign for donations to "groups", whose names are never specifically mentioned in said email.

She can't actually be running again, right?
