Texas Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst (R) weighed in Tuesday night on state Sen. Wendy Davis’ (D) ability to run for governor, saying she doesn’t stand a chance running for statewide office.
“It’s my hope, my friends, that about a year from now that people are saying, ‘Why were we talking about Wendy Davis?’” Dewhurst said at a meeting of the Tarrant County Republican National Hispanic Assembly in Fort Worth, Texas, as quoted by the Fort Worth Star-Telegram.
“I know Wendy Davis,” he added. “And I don’t think she stands a chance running for statewide office.”
Davis, who catapulted to national attention with her marathon filibuster of an abortion bill earlier this year, has said that she will either run for reelection to her state Senate seat or the governor’s office in 2014. That announcement could come after Labor Day, according to the Star-Telegram.
