.PrestonCNN says sources have told CNN that Joe Biden — expected to launch his 2020 campaign in April — is considering selecting a running mate early, which would add an element of excitement & help keep the campaign’s focus on the goal of defeating Trump
The former vice president's anticipated entry into the 2020 race is the last major factor looming over the opening chapter of the Democratic primary.

He has to get around to the business of raising the resources that he needs."Biden has already said he won't rely on a super PAC and as he teased a possible presidential run last week."Our elections are drowning in money, and every dark dollar chips away at our faith in the system. You're going to hear a lot about this before it's all over, I'm not in a position to tell you now," he said.
