Former Rep. Beto O’Rourke (D., Texas) said he’s still dealing with “exhaustion” from losing his Senate race to Ted Cruz (R., Texas) and is possibly months away from deciding whether to run for president.
“There’s an exhaustion after an effort like that, that I’m learning is hard to recover from,” O’Rourke said at a local speaker series in El Paso, according to Politico. “You don’t snap back.”
At the event, he responded to a questioner that he was looking at teaching if he doesn’t run for higher office. He told Politico that deciding to enter the increasingly crowded 2020 field could “potentially” take months.
“There are people who are smarter on this stuff and study this stuff and are following this and say you’ve got to do it this way or get in by this point or get in in this way if you were to get in,” O’Rourke said. “I think the truth is that nobody knows right now the rules on any of this stuff. I think the rules are being written in the moment.”
