Who from the Democrats isn’t running?
Via Daily Caller:
A handful of prominent Massachusetts Democrats are looking to stop President Donald Trump from winning the White House again in 2020 and the list has more than a few notables.
Trump’s approval rating has fallen steadily since April and has plateaued at roughly 39 percent since November. Despite a recent legislative victory with tax reform and a number of judicial appointments, four Massachusetts Democrats believe they can take on Trump and defeat him in the 2020 election cycle.
1) Sen. Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts
Warren is adamant that her focus is on her re-election campaign for her Senate seat in 2018.
“I am running in 2018 for senator from Massachusetts,” the senator said in April. “I am deeply blessed that the people of the commonwealth sent me to Washington to fight for them, and that’s what I’ll keep on doing.”
Warren has yet to make a formal announcement for a 2020 run, however, she has maintained a national profile throughout Trump’s first year in the White House. Warren took on Trump and Republican leadership during their push to repeal Obamacare, even offering up her name as a co-sponsor for Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont single-payer health care bill.
The Massachusetts senator also took a stand against Republicans during the recent tax reform campaign, although Republicans ultimately won out.
Her stands against Republicans and the president on the national stage has earned her nearly $13 million in campaign donations, that could prove vital going into both 2018 and a possible 2020 cycle.
2) Rep. Joe Kennedy
The great-nephew of late President John F. Kennedy, Joe Kennedy is a member of the state’s congressional delegation.
Kennedy has reportedly been taking trips to Ohio, Michigan and other places around the nation known to be big presidential campaign stops.
He also is known for working with Republicans, that could give him some bipartisan support if he decides to throw his name in the hat for 2020.
