The Post reported that Myers is in talks with several rival campaigns. She declined to comment to the paper. 

Warren is still expected to launch a bid for the presidency. Her possible campaign, however, faced a new challenge this week after The Boston Globe’s editorial board on Thursday panned Warren, saying she would be a divisive figure in the Democratic Party. 

A Warren candidacy, though it could drum up excitement in certain elements of the party’s progressive wing, could face controversy over her claims to Native American ancestry. In October, she released the results of a DNA test that ended up drawing criticism from both sides of the aisle.

The editorial board said Warren’s time has passed.

“In 2015, this editorial page urged Warren to run, in part because of the lack of serious competition against Hillary ClintonHillary Diane Rodham ClintonWhite House accuses Biden of pushing ‘conspiracy theories’ with Trump election claim Biden courts younger voters — who have been a weakness Trayvon Martin’s mother Sybrina Fulton qualifies to run for county commissioner in Florida MORE. (Clearing the decks for Clinton didn’t exactly end well for Democrats, did it?),” the editorial board wrote. “Warren missed her moment in 2016, and there’s reason to be skeptical of her prospective candidacy in 2020.”

O’Rourke, meanwhile, has received praise from numerous former staffers and aides to former President Obama, many of whom have called on O’Rourke to run.

O’Rourke has said he will not rule out a run.
