While O'Rourke drew large crowds in rallies all over the state, he lost his gubernatorial bid.
It's been a week since Election Day and a sweeping win for Republicans in Texas. Atop of the ticket, Greg Abbott won a third term as governor, defeating challenger, Beto O'Rourke, by double digits. So what is next for O'Rourke, who has now failed to win election bids in 2018, 2020, and now 2022? The El Paso Democrat said on election night that he is not sure what his next step will be. On Monday, his campaign reflected on what they did accomplish in 2022 and how they fell short.
In the wake of the loss, which saw O'Rourke underperform Joe Biden's vote tallies in 2020, his team met virtually on the record with reporters Monday. They talked about how his efforts across the state did help other candidates, namely Democrats in Harris County, and the groundwork they laid for future Democratic candidates.
"One thing he might do because he is very popular among democrats and a great fundraiser, is work on institution building for the Democratic Party in Texas," Jillson said. "It may be that Texas got really close to becoming a battleground state and is now trending a little bit more toward the red side," Klein told ABC13. "Certainly wouldn't put it as a presidential battleground in the next cycle, but it's hard for me to believe that Democrats are going to dump a lot of money into what they're almost certainly going to view as a losing cause.
