BREAKING: Beto O'Rourke drops out of 2020 presidential race
“Our campaign has always been about seeing clearly, speaking honestly, and acting decisively,” O’Rourke said on Twitter Friday. “In that spirit: I am announcing that my service to the country will not be as a candidate or as the nominee.”
The polling figures and dwindling fundraising were nevertheless enough to qualify O’Rourke for the third round of Democratic debates, held in mid-September. Beto had “paused” his national campaign to return to the mourning city. While other candidates tiptoed around the link between President Trump’s rhetoric and a sharp increase in racist violence, Beto flatly placed the blame at Trump’s feet and called him a white supremacist.
Frankly, it’s made us wish O’Rourke would shift gears, and rather than unpause his presidential campaign, we’d like to see him take a new direction.
