Former Vice President Joe Biden is considering picking a running mate early in his presidential campaign, should he decide to jump into the Democratic primary fray.

Biden, who is expected to declare his candidacy soon, has discussed the idea of choosing a running mate early on in the 2020 Democratic primary race, CNN reported Monday. The potential move is apparently an attempt to highlight to Democrats that the biggest priority in 2020 is beating President Trump in the general election.
