Biden and Beto O’Rourke may team up for a 2020 presidential run

Biden and Beto: the buddy story of 2020?

Former Democratic veep Joe Biden reportedly is considering Rep. Beto O’Rourke (D-Texas) to be his running mate if Biden runs for the White House again.

Advisers have touted O’Rourke to Biden thanks to his relative youth — he’s 46. The Texas pol is fresh off a close loss in the Senate race with Republican Ted Cruz.

At 76, Biden has been wondering whether he’s too old to make a third try for the presidency, the Associated Press reported.

O’Rourke could help Biden attract young voters in a potential run against President Trump.

But while Biden has high approval numbers, calls for new blood and a new generation of leadership are dominating Democratic circles. He’d be the oldest president ever if he won.





O’Rourke said Friday he hasn’t decided whether he’ll mount his own run for the presidency in 2020.
