For O’Rourke’s campaign staff, the former congressman’s response to the El Paso shooting has served as an inspiring force in an operation that has seen weak fundraising and polling
Ever since the mass shooting in his home town, the media has become intrigued — once again — by Beto O’Rourke.Initial signs for O’Rourke aren’t especially promising, as the former congressman prepares to resume his presidential campaign on Thursday.
But O’Rourke has never expressed interest in running for Senate this year, after his near-miss loss to Sen. Ted Cruz in 2018. The El Paso massacre only redoubled his resolve to campaign against Trump, according to sources close to his campaign, while persistent calls for him to run for Senate exasperated his supporters.
A Democratic sensation when he announced his presidential bid in March, O’Rourke soon flatlined in public opinion polls and saw his fundraising fall off.Sign Up While nearly every other Democratic presidential contender traveled to Iowa over the weekend for the Iowa State Fair, O’Rourke remained home. And while the staffs of other campaigns lined a street in Clear Lake, Iowa, cheering raucously while they waited for candidates to arrive for a party fundraising dinner, O’Rourke’s staff set up a small tent in a plaza about a block away, inviting candidates and their staffs to attend a moment of silence for the victims of gun violence.
