Two Congressmen Join The Democratic Race

Tim Ryan, from Ohio, and Eric Swalwell, from California, are both joining the race for president. I've moved both of them to the I'm Running list.

Note: I recently split the Potential list into two sections, those who are still doing some of the things potential candidates do, and those whose names were mentioned as potential candidates at some point, but aren't doing anything that looks like running.

Potential Democratic Candidates, in alphabetical order:
  1. Stacey Abrams (2018 candidate for Georgia governor) 
  2. Michael Bennet (Colorado Senator) added 2/10/19
  3. Joe Biden (Former VP)
  4. Steve Bullock (Governor of Montana)
  5. Bill de Blasio (Mayor of New York City)
  6. Terry McAuliffe (Former governor of Virginia)
  7. Seth Moulton (Congressman from Massachusetts) 
  8. 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)
