Beto O'Rourke
Beto O'Rourke officially kicked off his run for president Saturday from downtown El Paso, his hometown, promising “a campaign for America, for everyone in America.” The official kickoff follows a two-week tour of eight battleground states and after O’Rourke announced he was entering the race on social media on March 14. Two more rallies in Houston and Austin are planned Saturday. O’Rourke joins 16 other candidates and counting for the Democratic nomination for president. He consistently ranks near the top in early polling, usually in fourth place behind Kamala Harris, Bernie Sanders and Joe Biden, who hasn’t announced a run. El Paso has been home to the O’Rourke family for five generations, the campaign said. His wife, Amy, and their three children attended the official kickoff.
