Speculation continues swirling about whether Senator Amy Klobuchar will run for president in 2020 after she told A-B-C’s “This Week” that she’s thinking about it. Hamline University political analyst David Schultz says right now he’d put Klobuchar in the second or third tier of candidates. “Top tier are still the rumors around let’s say Bernie Sanders or Joe Biden and maybe an Elizabeth Warren,” Schultz says. “Then you get down to, what, the second tier of Kamala Harris, the Cory Bookers, Kirsten Gillibrand. She’s [Klobuchar] probably somewhere in that second tier.”
Schultz says recent appearance have helped, but Klobuchar is not a household name and she needs to figure out how to raise her profile “pretty rapidly.”
