I ask former President Obama to organize a leadership search to identify who can bubble up.

I personally like Cory Booker and Amy Klobuchar, along with the Castros. Adam Schiff and Pete Buttigieg are not to be ignored; nor is Elizabeth Warren.

Beto O’Rourke has made a play for Governor. If he wins and performs well in office, he will become a strong contender. I like the future for Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and Rashida Tlaib.

Kirsten Gillibrand needs to be a stronger voice. Her credentials are excellent.

Gavan Newsome is a possible VP candidate to deliver California.

What do you think?
