Bernie is a cusper but Warren and Brown are solid boomers.
I'm looking at Terry McAuliffe and Mitch Landrieu, as well as Brown, as candidates who have the skills to win, but they haven't gotten into the 2020 race yet. They could still be active in 2024 though too.
Right now, I don't see Warren as someone who can appeal to the voters who will decide the 2020 election. Only Sanders so far has any chance among the announced Democrats in the 2020 race. He can already be considered a gray champion, and he may be the great white-haired hope if he can both stay young and energetic, and shake or survive the socialist label that Trump will assault him with.
But it's true in a larger sense Elizabeth Warren is a gray champion today.
