Which Democrat born 1970 or later is the next Sanders/Warren?
(In 8 years, Sanders will be in his 80's and Warren in her 70's.)

Which of the "young" (born 1970 or later) Democrats in Congress or State Houses are most likely to be the next Sanders/Warren?

[NeverAgain]

Probably Tulsi Gabbard.

[anthonyjg]

I think Tim Ashe has a good future ahead of him.

[Kingpoleon]

Tulsi Gabbard, Ben Chipman, and Daryl Justin Finizio.

John Fetterman and Terrance Carroll come so close, being born in 1969.

[Blackacre]

Chris Murphy for sure

[Bojack Horseman]

Zephyr Teachout, a name that would make me consider doing the unthinkable and voting Republican.

[Orser67]

Eh, Chris Murphy strikes me as more of an establishment type.

Agreed, but it wouldn't shock me if some of the younger Senate/House Democrats move to their left over the next few years in the wake of Sanders's relatively successful candidacy.

I don't disagree with you there - just look at Tulsi Gabbard's sudden transition from hawk to potential leader of the party's left. She could very well be a sign of things to come.

Plus, his starting point was "gains recognition by filibustering for hours to force a vote on gun control." So he clearly has the liberal chops

[Boston Bread]

Jayapal could be the next Warren. Wouldn't be a presidential candidate of course (not born in the states).

[TarHeelDem]

Tulsi Gabbard. And she might very well be the first non-Christian president.

[VPH]

Tulsi Gabbard or Zephyr Teachout (once she wins, of course)

[Shameless Lefty Hack]

Teachout has potential, as does Keith Ellison.

I'll go for a deep cut and cite Gary Winfield, the state senator for my hometown in CT. I suspect he's got dibs on the CT 3rd when Rosa DeLauro retires. He's a very Progressive/WFP oriented guy, and has the bio and legislative ability (dude is *productive *) to go far. He may not be the *next * Sanders/Warren, but I suspect in 15-25 years he's going to be a very important Progressive player.

While we're on the subject of CT politics... Murphy has a really good record on things other than gun control. My own personal politics denounces him as a Moderate Hero (and thus villain) due to his monomaniacal focus on mass-shootings, but he is actually pretty progressive on foreign policy and domestic manufacturing.

I really liked Tulsi Gabbard at first... but this year has got me thinking she's a little unbalanced.

Ellison was born in '63.

[Landslide Lyndon]

LOL, Gabbard's only principle is ambition.

Darn... well he seems very youthful then!

I figured as much about Murphy. In US Politics it's hard to find someone super-left and passionate on gun control while being much farther right on other issues. I'm so bullish on Murphy because the gun issue shows his passion and gets him brownie points with the gun control base, but I had a feeling he'd hold up on other issues as well.

[Virginiá]

People with a similar lovable appeal who are also liberal & dedicated to their causes like Warren/Sanders are rare. Gabbard does not appear to be of the same caliber. She just seemed to get attention for her DNC thing, and that's it. It doesn't make her Warren-esque.

The only one I see potential in right now is Teachout, though I would say there are probably others that just aren't known right now.

[Figueira]

Hopefully Teachout.

[Person Man]

Tulsi Gabbard. And she might very well be the first non-Christian president.

I can honestly see that. I think she could get it in 2020 or 2024. I think she will be too much of an "insider" after that if Clinton loses. It seems that if you want to be president, you have move quickly on it. Bill was a national politician for 14 years but W only 6, and Obama only 4...

It's always hilarious to me when people suggest that a Senator first elected in, say, 2006, such as Amy Klobuchar, has a real shot at winning the 2024 nomination. By then, people like Klobuchar, Gillibrand, or Patrick won't have the political stock to win a nationwide primary. The 2024 nominee will probably be someone first elected Governor/Senator in 2018 or 2020.

Yeah. You gotta have momentum. I think the most you experience you can have is something like Reagan's or Clinton's, where they had taken some time off. I don't think someone who has been there forever would really have a chance. It could be that the next Republican or Democratic president isn't even in office yet and might not be a politician until they decided to run for POTUS.

[Blue3]

A much more important question now.
