Former Virginia Gov. Mark Warner isn’t done with politics yet.
After raising $9 million to run for president on the Democratic ticket last year, Warner dropped out of contention in October and contemplated his options.

Jim Gilmore, who himself mounted a presidential this year before dropping out in July.
