Imo, he's clearly the favorite in the next open primary. He's roughly in the middle of the party ideologically, and would probably have the strong backing of ex-Obamaites and ex-Clintonites as well as some former Senate colleagues.
I also really don't think that being in favor of TPP will be a scarlet letter for Dems going forward. I think trade deals are likely dead for the foreseeable future, which will make the issue less important.
Being white and old is a disadvantage, but after reading up on his time as Mayor of Richmond, I think he has a very strong talent for connecting with African-Americans.
