Two failed Democratic political candidates will bring their experience to the University of Chicago’s Institute of Politics as fellows for winter-spring seminars.

Robert O’Rourke, also known as “Beto,” recently completed a trifecta of losses — in 2018, he lost in a Texas U.S. Senate bid against Ted Cruz, in 2020 he lost in the Democratic primaries for president, and in 2022 he lost in a gubernatorial bid against Republican Greg Abbott.

Fellow Democrat Tim Ryan knows something about losing as well — he lost to political outsider J.D. Vance to become the next Ohio senator. Ryan also dropped out of the 2020 Democratic presidential primaries.
