Democrat Beto O’Rourke, sprinting through his second day on the campaign trail with stops in San Antonio and Laredo, signaled he’ll avoid the playbook that failed Terry McAuliffe in Virginia, telling Axios, “Trump doesn’t live in Texas. Biden doesn’t live in Texas. Thirty million of us are what’s most important to me.”…
The new candidate responded to the governor’s portrayal of him as radical after Abbott tweeted Monday, saying O’Rourke wants to “impose socialism” and “take your guns.”
“I trust Texas. I trust the people of this state. They know exactly what’s going on. They know where he has failed them. My responsibility is to show them a vision that includes all of us and focuses on the big things that we want to do.”
“These baseless attacks that are not grounded in the facts are not going to work. This is not going to be about scaring each other or trafficking in lies. This is going to be about the future and the truth.”
