Greg Abbott 48th Governor of Texas, since 2015 Explore the topics mentioned in this article
AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — Democrat Beto O’Rourke is running for governor of Texas, pursuing a blue breakthrough in America’s biggest red state after his star-making U.S. Senate campaign in 2018 put him closer than anyone in decades.
O'Rourke's announcement Monday kicks off a third run for office in as many election cycles. He burst into the 2020 Democratic presidential primary as a party phenomena but dropped out just eight months later as money and fanfare dried up.
“It's not going to be easy. But it is possible," O'Rourke said in an interview with The Associated Press ahead of his announcement. “I do believe, very strongly, from listening to people in this state that they’re very unhappy with the direction that (Gov.) Greg Abbott has taken Texas.”

They never go away. Eventually he will win something, just like that carpetbagger Ossoff in GA.
LOL!!!!!! As if he still matters (or as if he ever did). He couldn’t even beat Cruz during the latter’s lowest approval period.
“Stop calling him Beto. His name is Robert Francis O’Rourke”
Robert Francis O’Rourke is an Irish communist who pretends to be a Mexican. His father-in-law is a billionaire, so he has plenty of money to waste.
I can’t even imagine Texans would vote for him.
Bobby O’Rourke is as Mexican as Taco Bell.
Oh boy...maybe we’ll get to watch him flossing his teeth or flushing his sinuses.
They’ll try northern VA county type crap or Georgia crap.
If the Red counties report first, they’re stupid.
Wait until the blue cities report.
After Beto's smashing success in his first year as governor, he'll be in a position to take the 2024 Presidential nomination away from Kamala, so she should be worried too.
/sarc
Beto married his bank account so he has plenty of cash to waste losing a third time in a row.
Either the guy is a totally deluded narcissist, or the power behind the democrat party told him to run and that they would supply the money.
his campaign is the distraction and the hard money will be on the various other positions like AG and Land commissioner, etc.
His father in law must be as rich as Soros to keep throwing money into that spent volcano.
They all hollered BETO!!
Then she asked what they thought of Robert Francis O'Rourke.
WHO??
Remember when "Cultural Appropriation" was a bad thing? What pisses me off is his pretending to be a Texan.
Even though Texas has voted for blue dem governors in the past, please please dont elect Beto.
The dems are grooming Beto for a Presidential run, so this governor race will end up going down as the most expensive yet.
“I do believe, very strongly, from listening to people in this state that they’re very unhappy with the direction that (Gov.) Greg Abbott has taken Texas.”
Yeah well.... I’m not happy with many of Abbott’s decisions over the last 2 years but I sure as hell ain’t keen on going over the cliff you shameless little commie.
Abbott will beat him like a drum...
Just wish Abbott won’t be the GOP nominee, but it looks like it will be. Anyone but Beto.
This rich kid hates you and your right to firearms.
remember tat!
It isn’t a matter of winning for O’Rourke it’s all about the money he can get donated to his cause
Take the money and do world fact finding tours aka vacations for life he’s not the first to play that gig.
