The “Who is running in 2020?” tea leaves thread, Part 2

[Mr. Morden]

Booker's been doing a big round of media interviews talking about the Mueller investigation, and the bill he's sponsoring to prevent Trump from firing Mueller.  E.g., here he is on Anderson Cooper earlier today:

Sanders deflects when asked about 2020 on Face the Nation:

Sheldon Whitehouse is asked if he'd run for president in 2020 and says no.  Also says he has no favorite among the prospective 2020 candidates:

Sheldon Whitehouse? Are we as Democrats that desperate?

No, it's just that reporters are probably going to end up systematically asking every Democrat in the Senate if they're running for president, because why not?  It has nothing to do with what Democrats themselves want.

If Ivanka really primaries her own father, I'll have seen everything in my political life.

Never seen a more embarrassing name for a blog. Or whatever that site is, I'm not clicking on it.

It's clearly a fake news site run out of eastern Europe.

Everything's written by one guy.

Honestly, Ivanka would easily be a better President than Trump. irregardless of the fact that this site is sketchy as hell.

On The View, Gillibrand's asked if she's running for president and she says no, but it's present tense, so doesn't really preclude the possibility that she'll run next year:

For the second year in a row, Bernie Sanders will give his own response to the State of the Union, separate from the official Democratic response:

Hillary pulls some stunt at the Grammy's to remain relevant, but Sanders is a snob for giving his own address to the SOTU?

I guess that same logic applies to Maxine Waters?

Yes, this is good news. There is nothing wrong with different perspectives.
Kennedy will deliver the standardized Democratic response. Sanders will speak to the progressives.

Yes, can't think of too many differences between a socialist's response to the President and a capitalist's...

Biden’s 2020 timetable:

Maybe more telling though is Biden suggesting that maybe he won’t run as long as someone younger runs(?):

You must be logged in to read this quote.

What does “step up” mean?  Does he mean that if anyone younger than him is in the race, then he’ll defer to them?  Because that’s a 100% certainty (Delaney’s already running!).  Or would the younger candidate have to have a Biden-esque outlook on the world?  Or would the younger candidate have to be leading in the polls (meaning that he’ll only run to stop Sanders from being nominated)?

Either way, I guess he’s at least floating an “out” for himself here, which may be more than he was doing previously.

A few days ago when Tulsi Gabbard endorsed Hanabusa, Gabbard was asked if she'll run for president in 2020, and she deflected the question:

Now that Terry McAuliffe is unemployed, the big question is what is he going to do to bide his time for the next year or so at which point he'll (presumably) launch his presidential campaign?  So far, he's doing a lot of tweeting, and staying up late to appear on cable TV:
