Eyewitness News caught up with the Democratic challenger for the governor's mansion, who made it a point to appeal to small-town voters who typically wouldn't vote for him.
AMARILLO, Texas -- Beto O'Rourke is in his first week of a seven-week blitz across the state, and after his Friday night event in Amarillo, he sat down with ABC13 to talk about the state of the campaign as his team planned 70 events in 69 locations over a 49-day stretch. They're calling it the"Drive for Texas."
At that same event, he thanked those who attended for sharing their ideas and their concerns, despite political differences. But are these conversations enough for a Democratic candidate in a red state, seeking to defeat a two-term incumbent governor in Greg Abbott who leads him in all polling, and whose team pegs O'Rourke as a flip-flopper who Texans don't like? ABC13 spoke with Abbott's chief campaign consultant while on the road with O'Rourke.
