Polls have shown that Democratic voters in Texas would like Beto O'Rourke to run for Senate again, this time against GOP incumbent Sen. John Cornyn.
USA TODAYWASHINGTON – Beto O'Rourke has once again said he will not drop out of the 2020 presidential race to run for the Senate instead.
Last year, O'Rourke ran for Senate against Sen. Ted Cruz, where he gained national attention by ending up in a tight battle against the Republican incumbent in traditionally conservative Texas.Cruz won re-election against O'Rourke by less than 3 percentage points, a margin that shocked pundits. O'Rouke's contest against Cruz also helped flip several suburbs in Dallas and Houston that usually vote Republican.
When O'Rourke first announced his presidential candidacy in late March, he dominated headlines. At the time, he raised $6.1 million in the first 24 hours of his campaign. “That would not be good enough for this community. That would not be good enough for El Paso. That would not be good enough for this country," he said.
