Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe (D) is �seriously� considering the 2020 presidential race, according to confidants.
�He�s given me every indication that he�s taking it seriously,� said one McAuliffe friend who has spoken to him about his 2020 prospects. �I don�t think he�s 100 percent decided that this is something he�s planning to do but it is something he�s seriously considering.�
�Whether he pulls the trigger or not, that remains to be seen,� the friend added.
