Running against Beto? Trump says he 'wouldn't mind'


By CAITLIN OPRYSKO 03/22/2019 07:11 AM EDT

President Donald Trump outlined the 2020 Democrats he’d most like to run against next year, saying he’d “love” to run against former Vice President Joe Biden or Sen. Bernie Sanders but that “we could dream about” running against former Texas Rep. Beto O’Rourke.

In an interview that aired Friday on Fox Business Network’s “Mornings with Maria,” the president told host Maria Bartiromo it seemed like the press has already “chosen” the former congressman who shook up the race last week when he jumped into the field of more than a dozen candidates.

“My attitude is, I wouldn't mind,” Trump said when asked whether he wanted to run against O’Rourke, whose narrow loss in the Texas Senate race against Ted Cruz last year propelled him into the national spotlight.

“I mean, I'd love to have Biden. I'd love to have Bernie, I'd love to have Beto. I mean, Beto seems to be the one the press has chosen. The press seems to have chosen Beto,” he said.
