Trump Already Handicapping 2020 Field

Politico: “Handicapping potential 2020 challengers — however premature the exercise is — has become a favorite pastime for the competitive president, who still regularly rehashes his shock win in the 2016 race.”

Said one Republican: “He’s always asking people, ‘Who do you think is going to run against me?”

“Despite a bumpy first year and historically low approval ratings, this Trump ally said: ‘I don’t think he sees anyone, right now, being a serious competitor.’ … Former Vice President Joe Biden, however, is seen as someone who could cut into Trump’s base.”
