Have the Dems no one from the Midwest?
Steve Bullock is someone who could appeal to the middle of the country. He'd also have the quality of coming on late as a name no one had mentioned, like Obama. Or Trump.
I don't think Elizabeth Warren will excite people.
I love Kamala Harris. I shudder to think of how the remaining MAGA people would react in the streets if a woman of color took their man out of office.
I would like to see Kirsten Gillibrand in the mix. She tends to do very well in areas that are normally deep red in upstate NY, which are not dissimilar from the rest of the country. She would have appeal in places like OH and MI.
I think that, based on the maps in 2018 and 2020, it's entirely possible that a Democrat winning in 2020 would still face a 51-49 or 52-48 R-controlled Senate and thus get very little done initially.
