Sen. Cory Booker (D-N.J.) said hes looking to women first as potential running mates for his 2020 presidential campaign.

Booker, who two weeks ago joined what has already become a crowded Democratic field, talked about vice presidential running mates on MSNBC Tuesday night, though he avoided specifics.

I believe there should be a woman president right now and weve worked very hard to get one, but we have such a great field of leaders, Booker told Rachel Maddow . Im not going to box myself in, but should I become it, you know Ill be looking to women first.
