U.S. Senator Chris Murphy of Connecticut said on Twitter Wednesday he’s definitely not running for president in 2020.
I’ve been pretty transparent about this, but let me be 100% clear: I’m not running in 2020. I love the job I have now. And at least 2 or 3 Democrats in the Senate need to stay behind to keep the fight going here! https://t.co/gjyVNwoPsH

Murphy has shown up on a few shortlists of Democratic front-runners over the last year, including the Washington Post’s top 15 potential candidates.
One of Murphy’s top aides stepped down earlier this week to take a job in the campaign of a declared presidential candidate – U.S. Senator Kamala Harris of California.
