Dormer Democrat Rep. and presidential hopeful Beto O’Rourke has officially announced his bid for Texas Governor. O’Rourke is setting himself up for a tough challenge again popular Republican incumbent Greg Abbott.

The Hill reports:

O’Rourke, who also ran for Senate in 2018 and president last year, made the announcement in a fundraising email to supporters, where he touted himself as a unity candidate and railed against “fringe policies and incompetence that we see in Texas today.”

“I am running for governor to serve ALL of the people of Texas,” he said. “I believe that the only way we are going to achieve great things for this state is by looking out for each other and moving forward together.”

Texas Governor Abbott had a simple message after O’Rourke announced his campaign, “bring it.”
