A prominent conservative group is thrusting itself into the Democratic primary with a TV ad assailing Beto O’Rourke — a move that comes as Republicans consider a broader campaign to meddle in the opposing party's contest to take on President Donald Trump.in Iowa this week aimed at dampening liberal support for O’Rourke, who's expected to enter the race any day.
The decision to go after O’Rourke, whose spokesman didn't respond to a request for comment, reflects a fear that he would mobilize the millennial and suburban voters who powered the Democratic 2018 House takeover and seriously imperil Trump’s reelection. Republicans would be at risk of losing Texas if O'Rourke is the Democratic standard bearer, said Club for Growth president David McIntosh.
“We watched what he did in Texas in the race against Cruz and realized his potential within the Democratic primary system is enormously larger than what people are giving him credit for right now. We realized, here is a real potential threat because if he is the nominee then Texas suddenly is in play,” said McIntosh.
