The 2020 Democratic primary is expected to draw a crowded field, but newer names have cropped up in recent weeks, illustrating how the race to challenge Trump remains in flux.
During his Senate campaign, O’Rourke had firmly said he wouldn’t mount a presidential run in 2020. But last week, he told reporters that he’s no longer ruling it out…..

Trump is the overwhelming favorite, with 44 percent of voters saying they’re likely to vote for him in his 2020 reelection race.
Eight other Republicans are polled as potential primary challengers to Trump, but they only garner low- to mid- single-digits. Sixteen percent are undecided about whom they’d support in the 2020 GOP primary.
Kasich, who ran for president in 2016 and is considering another run against Trump, garnered 6 percent of support, the same number as Sen.-elect Mitt Romney (R-Utah), who was the 2012 GOP presidential nominee.
Only 2 percent of voters say they’d most likely vote for retiring Sen. Jeff Flake (R-Ariz.), who’s been an outspoken Trump critic. Flake is also considering a potential primary challenge, but in recent weeks, has poured cold water on a run.
Flake has touted Kasich and Sen. Ben Sasse (R-Neb.) as viable primary challengers. In Monday’s poll, Sasse comes in last place, with 1 percent of support….

Rep. Beto O’Rourke (D-Tx) is the flavor of the month in the media….
