BREAKING NEWS – El Paso, Texas – Former Rep. Beto O’Rourke, D-Texas, has burned roughly $175 million running unsuccessful campaigns for a series of different offices in just four years.
O’Rourke — who previously represented a congressional district in El Paso, Texas, between 2013 and 2019 — lost his most recent bid for higher office, falling to incumbent Gov. Greg Abbott, R-Texas, by a significant margin. He commented on the $175 million dollars, referring to the people who donated to his campaign as “misguided compulsive gamblers” who habitually bet on losers.
