Kander is dropping out of the KC race to seek treatment for PTSD and depression

But, but... I was told he'd be a contender for prez in 2020.

This one fits better and maybe a run for governor in '20 if Parson is vulnerable (what is too soon to tell now).

[Sir Mohamed]

The KC mayoral election will be in June 2019. That means he almost certainly isn’t running for President, and a gubernatorial run is highly unlikely. Though, this would make him a slightly better VP choice in my estimation.

Nah, no VP slot, maybe a second-rate cabinet job such as HUD. But thanks for clearing up, I thought the election was this November already.

[Sir Mohamed]

That's strange. I think he should run for governor.

Gov. Parson is probably in a good position for reelection in '20. Certainly much stronger than the Erotic Eric. A second loss would be pretty bad for Kander's career. The dude is not even turning 40 until 2021, so he can wait to 2024 and still be a young governor (or VPOTUS contender or whatever higher office).
