Beto's DOOMED Campaign for Governor

'Greg Abbott has failed the people of Texas': Beto O'Rourke launches bid for governor

Just as Democrat Beto O’Rourke on Monday announced his campaign for Texas governor, his party endured another painful reminder of its standing in the state as a 19-year Democratic lawmaker from the Rio Grande Valley bolted to the GOP.

The defection of state Rep. Ryan Guillen, driven by a redrawing of his district, underscored just how different the political environment has become since 2018, when O’Rourke gained national attention as a U.S. Senate candidate who came within three percentage points of defeating Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Tex.).

Back then, O’Rourke was able to gain national attention as a high-energy, fresh face who raised millions of dollars and campaigned tirelessly during a Democratic wave election on the promise of taking politics beyond tired partisan tropes. Even his loss proved potent enough to conjure for Democrats the possibility of Texas as a swing state and to prompt his brief presidential campaign.
