Hours before Beto O’Rourke and Gov. Greg Abbott took the stage for their first and only debate, families of children killed during the Uvalde school shooting made a show of force outside the theater where the debate will be held, demanding gun reform.
While O'Rourke was turning up the heat on Abbott on Friday afternoon, the governor's campaign was doing the same, releasing new digital ads calling O'Rourke a Con Man for how he's talked about issues like border security over the years.
O’Rourke said he’ll bring photos and mementos from the victims to the debate to serve as a reminder of how much families lost that day. A second press conference organized by a coalition of advocacy groups was set to happen at 5 p.m. also featuring families of the victims, but O'Rourke was not expected to attend that one.he is going to push Abbott on the issue of Uvalde and gun violence
Kimberly Rubio called it disrespectful that they are not being allowed into the debate hall to serve as a reminder of the tragedy.
