Stormy Daniels’ lawyer Michael Avenatti says he might challenge Trump in 2020

Michael Avenatti, the lawyer who emerged as national figure by representing porn star Stormy Daniels, is weighing a challenge to President Donald Trump in 2020.

“IF (big) he seeks reelection, I will run, but only if I think that there is no other candidate in the race that has a REAL chance at beating him,” Avenatti wrote on Twitter. “We can’t relive 2016. I love this country, our values and our people too much to sit by while they are destroyed.”
