Wreckage from Beto O'Rourke's failed presidential campaign could cost him the Texas governor's race
Democrat Beto OâRourke shakes hands with supporters after speaking during a rally at Discovery Green as he announces that he is running for governor of Texas Friday, Nov. 19, 2021 in Houston.Since 2018, Quinnipiac University polling has shown O’Rourke’s favorability rating among independent voters has gone from 56 percent to 42 percent in just four years.
But the gloves are off with Abbott as O'Rourke blames him for the failure of the grid, for gun violence in schools and for low teacher pay that has many leaving the profession or heading to other states. “As you know, on a city council in Texas you’re not a Republican. You’re not a Democrat,” he said drilling home the point during an interview at the Texas Tribune Festival in Austin last month. “You’re just there to deliver for the people who put you there.”In D.C., he tried to carve out a role as an independent who authored bills with Sen. John Cornyn, a Republican, and voted more than 150 times with Republicans over 6 years.
Democratic presidential hopeful Beto O'Rourke speaks to a crowd of supporters on the campus of Texas Southern University on Saturday, March 30, 2019, in Houston. The stop in Houston is part of a 3-city"official" campaign kickoff as he runs for president.But then Biden got into the race and easily overtook O’Rourke among Democrats looking for a more moderate candidate than Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren.O’Rourke began sounding more progressive as the campaign moved on.
