Abrams, a Democrat, is now turning her sights to the 2022 governor’s race after losing the same race in 2018 to Republican Brian Kemp.

She talked about running for president in 2020, but ultimately decided against it. However, she lobbied to be President Joe Biden’s running mate which ultimately went to Vice President Kamala Harris in 2020, so a run for president in 2024 isn’t out of the question.

This would be a pay increase for Buttigieg, who currently makes $221,400 a year in his position.

Net Worth: $1 Million

The former Republican vice president is polling third for potential nominees behind DeSantis and Trump respectively. Trump has said he would not have Pence as his running mate again, which opens the door for Pence to run for president on his own.
