Biden Team Floats Beto O’Rourke As 2020 Running Mate

The Associated Press reports:

Past and current advisers to Biden have held frequent conversations about options to alleviate concerns about age, including teaming him with a younger running mate.

One option that has been floated, according to a source with knowledge of the talks, is outgoing Texas Rep. Beto O’Rourke, who at 46 has become the subject of intense 2020 speculation after nearly beating GOP Sen. Ted Cruz. The sources spoke on the condition of anonymity to describe private conversations.

Representatives for Biden and O’Rourke declined to comment for this story. At a town hall Friday in El Paso, Texas, O’Rourke said he hadn’t made a decision about whether to seek the presidency.
