Former Congressman Beto O'Rourke is reportedly going to enter the 2020 presidential race. KTSM-TV in El Paso says O'Rourke confirmed to the news outlet that he's going seek the Democratic nomination. He's expected to make a formal announcement to supporters today.
In a new interview with Vanity Fair, which has already been unveiled, the Texas Democrat said "I'm born to be in it" when referring to the race for the White House. Recent polls show O'Rourke is still popular with Democratic voters months after losing a close race to Republican Senator Ted Cruz.
There have ben rumors that O’Rourke may ultimately team up with former Vice President Joe Biden, but that’s clearly not where O’Rourke’s head is that the moment. "I'm really proud of what El Paso did and what El Paso represents,” O’Rourke told KTSM in a text. “It's a big part of why I'm running. This city is the best example of this country at its best."
