And there’s still some would-be “serious” candidates who aren’t even in the race yet, but could qualify — like New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio, Montana Gov. Steve Bullock or Georgia Democrat Stacey Abrams. The candidates in the most immediate danger are the ones who have hit only the donor threshold. If one or two people are left off, it’ll be someone like Williamson .
