Potential candidates, 2020

Did a little research today... looking at Democratic Governors and Senators to predict who is the most likely to run in two years, I looked at Google Search Results for potential candidates who are under 65. I filtered out only relevant mention for politicians with common names. For twitter results I used the most followed account.

Top Google Search Results:
Tammy Baldwin: 1.7 million
Kamala Harris: 1.36 million
Joe Donnelly: 974,000

Top Twitter Followers:
Kamala Harris: 1.46 million,
Kirsten Gillibrand: 1.2 million
Tim Kaine: 973,000

Average of both:
Kamala Harris: 1.41 million
Tammy Baldwin: 901,750
Tim Kaine: 834,500
 
There is only one clear outlier in the Senate today. Her name is Kamala Harris. If you aren't already watching her, you need to start to. If she runs, she will win.
