jd vance bump

upgraded to basic

Does an exploratory committee count as running? Or an official announcement?

@nikki i think it would need to be more than exploratory , an announcement seems good

haley's out! bumping

vermin has one more in him i believe!

I don’t think she’s a natural born US citizen

@mattyb hm should i count cenk ... ive been thinking about this

@strutheo it’s your market and your answer :)

@mattyb i think i will still count her and cenk because some states dont test for this until after the primary, and eligibility vs being able to accept the office are two different things. Technically it is still possible for them to get on a few ballots and even get some votes, judging by cenk so far.

also i am inclined to accept campaigns that are known to be doomed from the start , as in Vermin Supreme's, as long as they put some effort in (by my judgement)

how is he so low!

@strutheo is that a serious campaign?

@Joshua i guess i should reclarify what i meant by serious - it was meant in terms of recognition (as in you cant just say 'im running' on twitter and count)

despite not being likely to win, he still has 'seriously' run and spent time on his campaign each year, even if only as a part of his art.

Ill come up with a better description / NA / remake Vermin if you have suggestions

@strutheo he also got more votes than vivek in that one primary so that counts for something

@strutheo he should be in this list

If Biden loses, no way Harris runs in 28. If he wins, I'd still call it 50/50.

I love Bernie, but the dude’s aged out

he’d be 93 on election day

Can we add Democratic Senator from New Jersey Corey Booker?

@Thesamman42 you can!
