A recent poll by PPP shows that MN voters did not want Franken to resign from the US Senate 50-42.

Franken can get back into the US Senate 2 ways.
1)Challenge Tina Smith in Democratic Primary for Franken"s old US Senate seat in 2020.
2)Hope for Klobuchar to be on the 2020 Democratic Presidential/Vice Presidential Ticket win the electoral college vote. The Democratic Governor of MN appoints Franken to Klobuchar" old US Senate seat in 2021.

Beto O'Rourke(D-TX) should be the 2020 Democratic Vice Presidential nominee.

O'Rourke(D-TX) is running a strong campaign for the 2018 TX US Senate Race against the incumbent Cruz(R-TX). Due to the Republican Party advantage in Texas, O'Rourke-D faces an uphill battle in winning the 2018 TX US Senate Race. If O'Rourke-D wins or comes close to winning the 2018 TX US Senate Race, he should be the Vice Presidential runningmate to whoever is the 2020 Democratic Presidential Nominee.
O'Rourke is young,handsome,charismatic and a great speaker/debator. He has a progressive voting record and is fluent is Spanish. Putting O'Rourke on the 2020 Democratic Presidential/Vice Presidential Ticket can turn TX into a purple/swing state and Democrats can pick up AZ,FL,GA,and NC along with MI,PA, and WI. 349ev.

2018 MS US Senate Elections- Which seat should Brandon Presley-D run for?

MS Class 1 (Wicker-R) Wicker-R faces a tough primary challenge against McDaniel-R. McDaniel-R has a greater than 50-50 chance of winning the Republican nomination. In a matchup against McDaniel, Presley can portray McDaniel as a crazy extremist. In a matchup against Wicker-R, Presley can portray Wicker as corrupt sellout. Presley can campaign as a populist outsider.
MS Class 3(VACANT Cochran-R) Republican candidates are Harper-R ,Palazzo-R or Pickering-R or Governor Bryant can appoint himself to give Lt Governor Tate Reeves the incumbency advantage in the 2019 MS Governors Race. Democrats should nominate former MS Attorney General Mike Moore. A popular 4 term State Attorney General known for suing big tobacco in 1990's.

This will give Democrats an opportunity in picking up both MS US Senate Seats.
