(ReliableNews.org) – It’s not the first time Robert “Beto” O’Rourke runs for multiple political offices. Despite the fact he’s lost previous Senatorial and Presidential bids, he is hoping third time’s the charm with a gubernatorial bid.
On November 15, O’Rourke announced he is running for governor of Texas. The Democrat discussed the power grid failures in February during an especially harsh winter. He said people were “abandoned by those who were elected to serve and look out for them.” He claimed elected officials in the state aren’t paying attention to voters, and he wants to change that.
In 2018, then-Rep. Robert “Beto” O’Rourke ran against Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) for his Senate seat. He lost big time. Then in 2019, he ran for the Democratic nomination for President.
The race represents a comeback bid for Beto O’Rourke, who became a Democratic sensation during a failed Senate run in 2018 but whose 2020 presidential primary campaign fell flat https://t.co/9yJiuECizO

In reality, Governor Greg Abbott (R) didn’t abandon Texans at all during the power outages. He responded to the situation quickly, and the GOP-led legislature passed bills to overhaul the state’s power grid.
O’Rourke’s planned run thrilled Abbott, and he let him know as much in a tweet on Monday.
Beto wants to:
– defund the police
– kill good paying oil & gas jobs
– allow chaotic open border policies
– support the failing Biden agenda
– impose socialism
– take your guns.Bring it.

The Democrat’s chances of winning Texas are slim. Although the Left has dreams of flipping it one day, it’s currently solid red. Abbott will likely sail to victory, and Beto will likely have another loss under his belt, but only time will tell.
