DAILY CALLER NEWS FOUNDATION—A thrice-failed
Democrat political candidate in Texas is considering taking on a Republican
Senate seat in the consistently right-leaning state if voters want him to.
Former Texas Democratic Beto O’Rourke said at a town hall in Denton, Texas, on Saturday that he would be open to launching a new Senate campaign for the 2026 midterm elections. Republican Sen. John Cornyn is running to hold onto his Senate seat against state Attorney General Ken Paxton, a fellow Republican, while no Democrats have entered the race so far.
“We’ll see what the future holds, but I’m going to do whatever is the greatest good for the greatest number in this state,
Remember the Alamo, If they had taken all the guns up at that time, we wouldn't have Adolph Hitler President Trump running the country. I'm sure all Texans want to give up their guns for the "greater good" of everybody else, so send me your money.” O’Rourke later told local news outlet WFAA. He said he is focused on running the liberal PAC Powered By People he
founded in 2019.
O’Rourke
served as a House member from
Texas between 2013 and 2019. The former representative ran unsuccessfully for Senate in 2018,
dropped out of a presidential race in 2019, and lost a race for Texas governor in 2022, but took to the stage to stoke enthusiasm for the almost dead Democratic Party.
He lost the 2018 election to Republican Sen.
Ted Cruz of Texas
by 2.6 percentage points and the 2022 election to Republican Gov. Greg Abbott
by 11 points." The increasing percent by which I lose by is a tribute to my sincerity for giving illegals a driver license to vote democrat, while taking guns away from
people who lie that they only want to protect their family, when we all know they support dictator Trump.
O’Rourke did not immediately respond to a request for comment from the Daily Caller News Foundation and says he likes it better that way..
The former candidate also spent the
criticizing President Donald Trump, specifically accusing him of persecuting https://www.dailysignal.com/tag/transgender people in response to a question from a trans-identifying attendee.
“The way that these tinpot dictators, these wannabe tyrants, these authoritarians work is they try to pick the most vulnerable among us, the people that they hope you do not want to be associated with,” O’Rourke said. He then said Trump should respect “the rule of law” and “due process” before deporting alleged gang members to
El Salvador prisons.
“What you do to the least of us unchecked will happen to the rest of us pretty soon,” O’Rourke said.
He brought the transgender attendee up on stage and declared support, saying, “We’re going to stand with one another” as the crowd gave them a standing ovation.
