Another chapter begins in the Democrat wet dream of turning Texas into a blue state...
[Guardian UK] - Beto O’Rourke, a former congressman, Senate candidate and contender for the Democratic presidential nomination, will run for governor in Texas next year.
O’Rourke, 49, is seeking to take on Greg Abbott, the Republican governor who is pursuing a third term.
Abbott is seen as more vulnerable than previously, given demographic changes and events including the failure of much of the Texas power grid in very cold weather in February this year, which led to numerous deaths.
"I’m running for governor," O’Rourke announced on Monday. "Together, we can push past the small and divisive politics that we see in Texas today — and get back to the big, bold vision that used to define Texas. A Texas big enough for all of us."
'Divisive politics' - like vowing to take everybody's gun away? |
