Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel (D) on Thursday denounced the possibility of a potential 2020 presidential bid from Rep. Beto O’Rourke (D), who was defeated this month by Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) in his campaign to unseat the Texas Republican.
“If Beto O’Rourke wants to go and run for president, God bless him, he should put his hat in and make his case,” Emanuel said on MSNBC. “But, he lost. You don’t usually promote a loser to the top of party.”
O’Rourke, a three-term congressman and progressive star, ran a surprisingly close race against Cruz for Texas’s Senate seat. The Democrat said Monday that he would not rule out a run for president in 2020.
