Usually House members are considered much regarding potential candidates- even though there are likely some really strong, lesser known, potential candidates... And some strong candidates stuck in House due to long servering Senators.

But since all would have more governmental experience that Trump... Do you think there will be an above average number of House members who enter the race in 2020?

its less about government experience that prevents house members from running, and more about lack of a campaign apparatus. The only major contenders we see with rep in front of their name tend to be major national figures with major national followings and fundraising ability

What is "average"?  1?  Because I might put the over/under for Dems from the House running at about 3.  Delaney's already running, and then you'll get maybe one out of Gabbard, Moulton, and Ryan, and then one other person who hasn't dropped any hints yet.

It's also possible that someone from the House runs on the Republican side.  Amash being the most likely, but could be someone else who's not on anyone's radar yet.

I mean, the fact that Delaney's already in the race suggests that yes, there'll be an above average number of House members in the race.
