Potential presidents who share the name of a former president

(1/3) > >>

ultraviolet:
We already have two Adams, Johnsons, Bushes, and Harrisons. What future president could share the last name of a former president? As this is obviously quite unlikely I'm going to include anyone with even a remote chance of becoming president. Here's what I have:

Joe Kennedy III
Eric Adams
George P. Bush
Cori Bush
Mike Johnson
Aaron D. Ford
Jahana Hayes

Who else

MarkD:
Jay Nixon
Roger Wilson
Joe Wilson
Frederica Wilson
Alma Adams
Bill Johnson
Hank Johnson
Mike Johnson
Dusty Johnson
Buddy Carter
Troy Carter
John  Carter
Ronny Jackson
David McKinley
John Kennedy

Skill and Chance:
Washington is a fairly common surname and would probably give a presidential candidate a significant advantage with low info voters, all else being equal.  I bet we will eventually see another President Washington.

*Unrelated, of course.  He couldn't have kids.

Some would presumably still be distantly related as male-line descendants of his father. (Washington had many brothers.)

Unless I'm missing someone, Eric Adams is the only one that I can think of who has even a remote chance.

We come close with the Vice President - Harris is close to Harrison.
