Northwest leaders dont have a history of making waves in national politics, but that hasnt stopped speculation about Washington Gov. Jay Inslee running for president.
The latest conjecture comes from CNNs Chris Cillizza, who lists Inslee among at least 22 Democrats thinking about running for president in 2020.
Lest that sounds like our guv is just another face in the crowd, consider this: Cillizza put Inslee in the second of four tiers the first tier being most likely to clinch the nomination.
The only people in that top tier are former Vice President Joe Biden, Sen. Bernie Sanders and Sen. Elizabeth Warren. Inslee shares the second tier with the likes of Sens. Cory Booker and Kamala Harris and 2016 vice presidential nominee Tim Kaine.
