Beto O’Rourke “said that he very likely would choose a female running mate if he manages to nab the Democratic presidential nomination next year,” the Dallas Morning News reports.

He added: “It’s presumptuous for me to think about who I would select as a vice president. Right now I’m seeking the nomination.”
