Biden Is In, McAuliffe Is Out

Joe Biden made it official yesterday, becoming the 20th name on my list of candidates. I missed it last week but former Virginia governor Terry McAuliffe has said he won't run. I've updated my lists.

Potential Democratic Candidates, in alphabetical order:

1. Stacey Abrams (2018 candidate for Georgia governor) 
2. Michael Bennet (Colorado Senator) added 2/10/19
3. Steve Bullock (Governor of Montana)
4. Bill de Blasio (Mayor of New York City)
5. Chris Murphy (Connecticut senator)

I'm Probably Not Running: Long-shot (or in some cases, fantasy) candidates who were once mentioned somewhere, anywhere, as possible potential presidents, but who aren't doing any of the things an actual candidate must do: 

1. Jerry Brown (former Governor of California)
2. Mark Cuban (Businessman, owner of the Dallas Mavericks)
3. Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson (Actor) added Nov. 10
4. Tim Kaine (Virginia senator, 2016 VP nominee)
5. Joe Kennedy (Congressman from Massachusetts) added Nov. 10
6. John Kerry (former Secretary of State, 2004 Democratic nominee) added Nov. 10 
7. Mark Warner (Virginia senator) added Nov. 10
8. Mark Zuckerberg (Businessman, founder of Facebook)
