Joe Biden, Bernie Sanders, Beto O'Rourke and several other notable Democrats need to step up their games or they'll be forgotten contenders in 2020.

Gov. Larry Hogan will speak at a "Politics & Eggs" series at the invitation of the New Hampshire Institute of Politics — fueling speculation he has political ambitions beyond Maryland. The Republican governor has said he's open to considering a run against President Donald Trump.

CHARLOTTE — Jennifer Hosey was 7 years old the first time she volunteered for a presidential campaign — stuffing and stamping envelopes for Bill Clinton's first run in 1992. This year, the 27-year-old Potomac resident is attending her first Democratic National Convention.

Gov. Martin O'Malley did his job with his convention speech in Charlotte, but it's what he did before and after that will determine his political future.
