Former presidential candidate Martin O’Malley is one of the first Democrats to begin the process of running for president in 2020, according to a Wednesday report from Politico.
The former governor of Maryland commissioned a poll in Iowa, the site of the first caucus in presidential elections, revealing a huge show of interest.
O’Malley fared well in the poll, earning 18 percent of voters. The poll included nine other potential candidates: Sens. Cory Booker, Kirsten Gillibrand, former Housing Sec. Julian Castro, New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, state Sens. Kamala Harris of California and Amy Klobuchar of Minnesota, as well as Facebook COO Sheryl Sandberg and Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz.
Thirty-two percent of respondents indicated they weren’t sure who they planned to support, indicating there is a lot of wiggle room within the next three years.
O’Malley earned a 47 percent favorable rating, the highest in the poll. Booker came in second, earning a 40 percent approval rating, and Cuomo came in third, earning 35 percent.
“Governor O’Malley spent a lot of time in Iowa during the campaign and made a very favorable impression on Iowa Democrats. We wanted to see if the conversations he started with Iowans resonated and are glad to learn that they did,” said O’Malley’s 2016 campaign manager Dave Hamrick.
Pundits speculated after the 2016 election who would run, but most of the likely candidates have been unwilling to officially come out and express their interest. Booker made an assertion last Sunday that he was not at all interested in running for office. The progressive senator reported he was more interested in opposing Republicans and President Donald Trump.
The poll included 1,062 Iowa registered Democrats, and took place from March 3 through March 6. The poll was conducted by the Democratic-leaning Public Policy Polling, the margin of error was not published.
that list of contenders looks like a wet dream for communists
Now don’t get me wrong, I don’t like this guy a bit. BUT...the few times that I’ve seen him debate the issues I’ve thought he’s maybe the best the rats have. He’s not right, he’s just good at debating.
That said, he’ll never get the nomination. I don’t think we’re likely to see a white man at the top of their ticket anytime soon.
O’Mally could be the first woman president. You forgot tranny.
They’re OK with Irishmen so long as they have some ties to Sein Fein.
He is a venomous little creature:
O'Malley is stronk! Not weak!
Heeeeee’s baaaaaa-aaaaaaack!
Maryland “Freak State” PING!
The Catholic bishops will fall all over themselves:
—Marxist
—No Borders
—Pro-abortion
He is also Pro Scientologist - Greta Van Sustren’s Husband, John Coale was his campaign manager in 2016.
The clown is serious, and this is the primary reason he ran in 2016. He is the only democrat 2016 candidate who was noticed at all in the election who will be under age 70 in four years. He’s 54 now, which makes him two decades younger than the socialist and the tyrant. Being the right age and having run once are a big deal.
Don’t treat the clown as a joke. Treat him as a threat to be assessed and prepared for.
You’re right.
Owe’Malley also seems to think he has the good-looking card to play. Thinks he is in the same line as Kennedy. Maybe this time it will work.
These LIBs are all pathetic clowns. Cue the tiny clown car with clowns running all in and out.
His wife is a state judge (and daughter of the former state Attorney General.) I wonder if he’d try to appoint her to the Supreme Court.
It’s a great song, and this is who it was originally written for. The scene is from “A Little Night Music” by Stephen Sondheim.
