Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg Is Hiring a Team Worthy of a 2020 Presidential Campaign
Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg‘s latest hire is further fueling speculation that he could be planning a 2020 presidential bid.

Zuckerberg and wife Priscilla Chan have hired Democratic pollster Joel Benenson, a former top adviser and longtime pollster to President Barack Obama and the chief strategist of Hillary Clinton’s 2016 presidential campaign, as a consultant, Politico reported, citing a person familiar with the hire.

Benenson’s company, Benenson Strategy Group, will conduct research for the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative, a philanthropy run by the couple and endowed with their estimated $45 billion Facebook fortune — 99 percent of which they’ve vowed to give away.


I don't want him on the ticket, either. Not everyone who wants to run should be considered seriously as a presidential candidate. Truly!
