Three Mayors Mull Running for President Political Wire by Taegan Goddard “No mayor has ever sprung directly from City Hall to the White House,” Politico reports. “But that historic streak stands to be tested in 2020, with at least three Democratic mayors mulling presidential campaigns: Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti, former New Orleans Mayor Mitch Landrieu and South Bend, Ind., Mayor Pete Buttigieg.”

Hard to handicap that one, but I think Warren inherits the Bernie folks? << Five Democrats Laying Groundwork for 2020 Bid Political Wire by Taegan Goddard Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) “and her emissaries have been reaching out to key Democratic officeholders in Iowa, Nevada and South Carolina — three states early in the presidential primary calendar — making introductions and offering help in the midterm campaign. Altogether, her moves are among the most assertive steps taken by any Democrat to prepare for 2020,” the New York Times reports. “Ms. Warren, 69, now leads a small advance guard of Democrats who appear to be moving deliberately toward challenging President Trump. Former Vice President Joseph Biden wielding a political network cultivated over decades, has been reasserting himself as a party leader, while Sens. Cory Booker (D-NJ) and Kamala Harris (D-CA) have emerged as fresher-faced messengers for the midterms. And Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) the runner-up in the 2016 primaries, has been acting like a candidate as he considers another race.” “All five have been traveling the country, raising money for Democrats and gauging the appeal of their personalities and favorite themes.”
