If there’s one thing Democratic voters very clearly want in 2020, it’s to beat President Trump. What they don’t want is an even larger field of candidates to choose from to achieve that goal. Seven out of 10 Democratic voters are “satisfied with their choices” for presidential nominee, and while half say they’d jump aboard the Michelle Obama train immediately if she were to declare, other possible late entrants poll significantly less well.

Nonetheless, former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg and former Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick both took steps this week toward entering the crowded field. Bloomberg’s initial constituency is small, with Fox News polling only estimating 6% of Democratic primary voters would “definitely” flock to Bloomberg. However, even if his base is small, he at least has the massive resources necessary to gain ballot access this late in the game. Patrick, meanwhile, has little time, money, or manpower to get himself onto the ballot at all.
