Booker will testify against Sessions at Judiciary, apparently the first time a senator has testified against a fellow sitting senator for Cabinet.

Booker's virtue signalling not the far left is probably a sign that he is in

I shouldn't have to explain the difference in power between senator from Alabama and Attorney General.
Give me a break, liberals would be doing the same pant-sh*tting if he nominated a moderate

Hell no we wouldn't. Do I need to remind you why Sessions failed to get confirmed last time?

The allegations against him were never substantiated and several senators including Arlen Spector later stated thatvthey regretted voting against his nomination

Honestly, once it was clear on election night that Trump was chosen to be president by the electoral college, I was hoping for an AG Chris Christie or something. Sessions is different. He's a fringe, rabid extremist.

Fair's fair, after all the actual moderates Obama nominated but were dismissed by pearl clutching conservatives....including oh, an SC nominee.

Christie certainly would be more moderate but he would struggle to get 30 votes to confirm him

I don't get why people are talking up Newsom. Is he going to announce his presidential run in his inaugural address for Governor?

...and even if he was elected Governor in, say, 2014, and had enough experience on the job to mount a national campaign, he's still DLC trash who would get ripped to shreds in the primary.

So, like the majority of the primary electorate?

Amusing how virtually all the candidates who are signaling interest (Booker, Cuomo, Zuckerberg) are from what is seen as the "neoliberal" wing of the party.

Not exactly a Shermanesque statement.

He's in a tough re-election battle, and looking like he's about to run for President the whole time is not a good image to have.

And it looks like Warren will be participating in a parallel "Women's March" event in Boston:

Martin O'Malley speaks at the Utah Democratic Party's annual gala, and is asked about 2020:

O'Malley's actually rare among 2020 Dems in that he's publicly admitted that he's a "maybe".  Ask most of the others, especially those currently holding public office like Warren or Booker, and their answer is that "it's too soon" to even ask questions like that.  Which also isn't a denial, but saying "maybe" at least acknowledges that it's something you're thinking about.

Also note here that O'Malley is continuing his pattern of using more hyperbolic language to describe Trump than most of the other 2020ers tend to use:

As I said in the thread on this, most Democratic governors or Democrats in Congress aren't using the "f-word" (fascist) wrt Trump.  But O'Malley does it often these days.

I think it's pretty clear that O'Malley, Cuomo, and Booker are in. Klobuchar probably as well. Not sure about anyone else.

I always find it hilarious when they say they're not thinking about it yet.  As I said upthread, last week Klobuchar said (re: the 2020 presidential election) “I’m not thinking about that at all.”

Yeah, right.

Yep, pretty sure O'Malley is going to run, he is eager and patiently waiting. Do you think he would do better in 2020 if he does run?

He'd probably somehow do even worse, as there will be likely be more than 3 candidates left by Iowa this time (all of whom will be better candidates than him).

A big story regarding Zuckerberg for prez….though it says that a 2024 run is seen as more likely than a 2020 run:

Biden was on The View on (I think) Friday, and was asked about 2020 again.  Here’s the video:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DybXhH2PKx0

Go to about the 17:10 mark to see the question being put to him.  He says that in early December when he said he was running, he was joking, and now says “I have no intention of running for president”, which is the same formulation he used about a month ago to walk back his supposed declaration of candidacy:

https://uselectionatlas.org/FORUM/index.php?topic=233345.msg5427153#msg5427153

Of course, as I said then, “I have no intention” falls short of a Shermanesque denial.  Fastforward to the 29:45 mark on the video, and Biden is asked “You said never say never about 2020, right?”, and Biden just smiles and says nothing.

In any case, note that he talks about how he says he’s going to keep on his primary VP staffers after he leaves DC, and goes to work for the University of Delaware and the University of Pennsylvania:
