NEW LONDON, N.H. — Democratic 2020 hopeful Beto O’Rourke changed his position on whether gun licensing is a good idea overnight.

The former Texas congressman told reporters at a Salem, N.H., campaign stop Thursday night that he thought Democratic rival Sen. Cory Booker’s plan to create a federal gun licensing program “might be too far.” The next morning, he told Manchester, N.H., television station WMUR in an interview that “we should explore that idea.”
