Beto O'Rourke spent his 50th birthday this week behind the wheel of his pickup in Texas, fast approaching a big moment in his uphill climb for governor. He is still trying to close in on Gov. Abbott with six weeks until Election Day, Nov. 8.
Just as he did in his , O'Rourke has spent months visiting nearly every corner of the almost 800-mile-wide state, driving into the most strongly Republican counties in an effort to weaken the wall of rural support that has helped the GOP offset losses in booming big cities and suburbs.
In the aftermath of the Uvalde shooting, O'Rourke has called to raise minimum age to purchase such weapons to 21, something Abbott “If Beto can coax Abbott into a moment where there's a stark difference on, say, gun control I think that can have a big impact,” said Jason Villalba, a former Republican state lawmaker. “But to do that you have to be aggressive and take large risks."
