Adding Howie Hawkins as a speculative candidate as there appears to be some support among SP members for him being considered as their nominee; the Socialist Party of New Jersey had Hawkins speak at their state convention last month, and released a statement calling on Hawkins to participate in their nomination process, though they didn't endorse him specifically.
If he does get the nomination, I suspect this means that the SP won't actually be on the presidential ballot in any state, and functionally it'll primarily be an endorsement rather than anything else (like their support of Sonia Johnson in 1984), though it might get interesting if Hawkins doesn't get the Green nomination and the SP still wants to try to put him on the ballot under their own name in a couple states.

I'll be attending the SP's national convention this year as an observer, so depending on what sessions I'm able to make maybe I'll be able to see their nomination process in real-time. My feeling at this point is that it's probably Hawkins or no one, since there's no one that I'm aware of internally that would take up the mantle. That said, that was the case in 2015 as well before they nominated Mimi Soltysik, so things may change, especially if there's a strong anti-Green Party contingent mobilized in the party)...

That graphic makes it look like Debs is Hawkins' running mate.

Well the one person running for the VP slot dropped out when Hawkins was nominated, so might as well be
