Here are ten names that might get interesting in the coming period. It was taken into account how likely it is that the people will run for office and how promising their chances of winning are.
Joe Biden, 80, US President
Employees of the US President have forwarded supposedly secret finds to the National Archives. This is thoroughly exploited by the opposition Republicans.

Kamala Harris, 58, Vice President
The 58-year-old carries around ballast because of her current position. Their popularity ratings are no longer what they were when they took office. There was always controversy about her personal leadership style.
Pete Buttigieg, 41, Secretary of Transportation
In March 2020, however, the 41-year-old suspended his campaign and from then on supported then-Vice President Biden. Buttigieg is definitely someone to watch in the months and years to come.
Roy Cooper, 65, Governor von North Carolina
The North Carolina governor keeps popping up on the favorites list, though many don’t even have his name on the radar. Cooper is described as a Biden-style candidate.
He went to public school, worked on the family farm during the summers, also worked as a lawyer, and presents himself as a loving father to his three daughters. The 65-year-old has been governor since 2017. When his term ends in 2025, he won’t stand for re-election, so he could look for a new job if he wanted to. Actually good timing for a candidacy.
Amy Klobuchar, 62, Senator from Minnesota
Amy Klobuchar is a member of the US Senate and has been in office since 2007. The Yale graduate was previously an attorney in Minnesota. After poor results, she withdrew her bid for a 2020 presidential nomination and endorsed Joe Biden.
Will she try again? The fact that the 62-year-old has announced that she will run for re-election to the Senate in 2024 speaks against this.
Gavin Newsom, 55, Governor of California
Newsom was the mayor of San Francisco and has been the governor of California since 2019. The 55-year-old announced that he did not want to run as a presidential candidate. But it shouldn’t be dropped completely from the table.
Bernie Sanders, 81, Senator from Vermont
Sanders has represented Vermont in the Senate since 2007. He was previously a member of the US House of Representatives. In the 2016 presidential election, he was a candidate in the Democratic primary and won the support of young voters and the left in particular. He placed second behind Hillary Clinton. He also ran again in the primaries of the subsequent presidential elections, but stopped campaigning in April 2020.
Last spring, Sanders did not rule out a possible candidacy should Biden no longer run. This emerged from a strategy paper. Experts assess the chances that a candidate from the left-wing Democrats will be able to convince a broad electorate to be rather low. He had also often criticized the style of his colleagues before the midterms. The fact that the midterm elections ultimately turned out so well for the Democrats does not give him any bonus points.
Gretchen Whitmer, 51, Governor of Michigan
Nevertheless, she remains an interesting candidate for many. Because it has demonstrated its ability to appeal to a diverse constituency, and that can be a significant strength in a national campaign.
JB Pritzker, 58, Governor von Illinois
The recently re-elected governor already seems to be working towards a possible candidacy in 2024. In his speech on election night, he presented himself as a candidate should Biden no longer run. He lashed out at the Republican Party and criticized them for not distancing themselves more clearly from Trump.
Prior to taking office in 2019, Pritzker held no public office. He is an heir to the Hyatt hotels. Forbes estimates his net worth at $3.6 billion which makes him one of the richest politicians.
Josh Shapiro, 49, Governor of Pennsylvania
Anyone who follows the rise of the 49-year-old expects that he has bigger plans. Few candidates received as much support in 2022 as former Attorney General Josh Shapiro. His success in a state as important in presidential elections as Pennsylvania is why he is very high on many Democrats’ lists.
Also of note are: Gina Raimondo, Secretary of Commerce, Phil Murphy, Governor of New Jersey, Cory Booker, Senator from New Jersey, Ro Khanna, Congresswoman from California, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Congresswoman from New York, Elizabeth Warren, Senator from Massachusetts
