I'm not so sure. Who was the last senator elected president? The public seems to dislike elevating senators, we prefer governors.

Correct me if I am wrong, no one but Harris has declared. We're well into March. I suppose JEB! could make a credible last-minute entry, but I'm not sure who else could.

The real bad news in FL is the two-man GOP race for the gubernatorial nomination. I am still shocked a real conservative did not jump in that race, it would have been an easy win (and a possible stepping stone toward an eventual White House run).

Last sitting Senator elected was John Kennedy, 1960. Before that, Warren Harding in 1922, I think.

But you need to differentiate between Senators-only like JFK, McLame, or HRC and ex-governors who became Senators like George Allen and hopefully Jeb.
