Former Rep. Beto O’Rourke (D-TX) is leaning towards making a 2020 presidential run, according to a Tuesday Politico report.
His reported intentions make his reticence all the more confusing, as he has given little attention to the early voting states while candidates like Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) tour to make contacts and woo voters. He also has reportedly not made any big hiring moves.
Some are speculating that the young politician is still recovering from a grueling Senate campaign, while others attribute his lack of urgency to his unconventional style.
The Wall Street Journal reported Tuesday that O’Rourke is planning a solo road trip outside of Texas to meet voters and come to a final decision by February at the earliest.
