«Breaking News» Democrat O'Rourke won't rule out 2020 presidential run

Democrat Beto O'Rourke said Monday he isn't ruling out a potential 2020 presidential run, walking back earlier pronouncements that he wouldn't seek the White House regardless of the outcome of his Senate campaign in Texas.

O'Rourke, a three-term congressman who lost to Republican Sen. Ted Cruz this month, was asked during a town hall in his native El Paso about whether he was considering a presidential bid. 

He described vacationing last week with his family - something he said he couldn't do for 18-plus months while challenging Cruz.

O'Rourke said he's focused on 'being together as a family' and representing his district until leaving the House on January 3. But after that, he and his wife will 'think about what we can do next to contribute to the best of our ability to this community.'

The congressman then grinned at his wife, Amy, who was in attendance, and playfully asked, 'How was that? Was that OK?'

O'Rourke shattered fundraising records and became a star in national political circles amid his race with Cruz, which he lost by less than 3 percentage points. 

That was close enough in deep-red Texas to spark speculation O'Rourke could try and keep the momentum going with a presidential campaign.

Monday's answer was far less equivocal than during the Senate campaign, when O'Rourke said he didn't plan to run for the White House no matter what happened on Election Day. 

Asked then what he would do in defeat, O'Rourke vowed to return with his family and stay in El Paso. But he now sounds like someone who could be prepared to change his mind.

'I want you to be president,' declared one questioner at the El Paso town hall, to which O'Rourke only smiled and changed the subject. He also refused to say whether he might accept being on a Democratic ticket as the nominee for vice president.

Addressing reporters later, O'Rourke acknowledged that his latest answer was a departure from his earlier insistence that he wasn't interested in a presidential run. However, he provided no further details on what his next moves might be.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
