“At some point I may have to give in and be on your television set, but right now I want to be with you,” O’Rourke said.
The 46-year-old three-term Congressman from El Paso lost in his U.S. Senate bid against Republican Sen. Ted Cruz last fall and then announced his candidacy for president in March. During his hour-long speech, O’Rourke railed against President Trump’s border policies, and said he would not attack any fellow Democratic presidential candidates.
