Sen. Elizabeth Warren
"Warren, 67, has become one of the biggest thorns in Trump’s side. In an April interview, Warren said she has no plans to run in 2020 and is focused on her 2018 reelection."
Former Gov. Deval Patrick
"Patrick, 60, left office in 2015 and now works at Bain Capital. He’s been previously floated as a presidential contender and is close with a former top Obama adviser, David Axelrod."

Rep. Seth Moulton
"Moulton, an Iraq War veteran, was also mentioned in the New York Times story and privately says he’s not ruling out a bid. Moulton, 38, brushed aside the story but is fundraising off of it anyway."
The Hill also lists Facebook CEO/founder Mark Zuckerberg, Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban, and entertainer The Rock as potential candidates, so take it for what it's worth.
