48. Mickie Sherrill, the new governor of NJ should be too.

Until Governor Whitmer took herself out of the list of people possibly running in 2028, I assume she would have been there.Yet she could still be an influential voice.

I also think AOC should be included as she is influential. It seems the list is almost entirely people rumored to run for President and people running in swing states.
