Beto O’Rourke, who has previously mounted unsuccessful campaigns for the U.S. Senate and the White House, has now announced his Texas gubernatorial bid.
O’Rourke served as a member of the U.S. House of Representatives from early 2013 until early 2019. He failed to defeat incumbent GOP Sen. Ted Cruz during the 2018 senatorial contest. Then in 2019, O’Rourke pursued a presidential bid, but he dropped out later that year.
If O’Rourke successfully clinches the Democratic nomination to run for governor, winning a general election would likely prove to be a difficult task since Democrats have not won a gubernatorial election in the state since 1990.
Former President Donald Trump won the state during the 2020 presidential election contest, continuing a long-time Republican winning streak — but the last time a Democrat took Texas during a presidential contest was more than four decades ago in 1976.
“Bring it,” Lone Star State Gov. Greg Abbott tweeted. The Republican governor said that O’Rourke desires to “defund the police,” “kill good paying oil & gas jobs,” “allow chaotic open border policies,” “support the failing Biden agenda,” “impose socialism,” and “take your guns.”
What a joke
O’Rourke is just looking to cash in for the disability ratings. Masochistic tendencies with a side of PTSD, please.
The Republican governor said that O’Rourke desires to “defund the police,” “kill good paying oil & gas jobs,” “allow chaotic open border policies,” “support the failing Biden agenda,” “impose socialism,” and “take your guns.”… and he is GAY. No chance in Texas.
He needs to stay home with his husband and bake cookies and be a good little wife.
Maybe he should try another state.
Or country!
