No, potassium is not magnetic.
I'm not answering based on any theoretical grounds, just plain
experimenting: I have a vacuum-sealed tube with a solution inside
and a potassium mirror in the upper side. Some potassium metal bits
fell into the solution, and they do not respond in any way to a
magnet held near them.
