The promises reflected how Abbott and O’Rourke are eager to spotlight starkly different issues with just three weeks before early voting begins in a competitive Texas governor’s race.
O’Rourke, who has been haunted in his campaign by his support of confiscating such weapons while running for president in 2019, did not directly answer when asked if he still supported the position. "I’m for making progress," he said.
Like many Democrats running in November, O’Rourke is drawing on outrage over abortion access and mass shootings — issues that have energized voters elsewhere. But as Texas Democrats also know, those same issues have failed to carry them in past elections.Midterm elections are just a few weeks away and the deadline to register is coming up. Travis County Tax Assessor-Collector Bruce Elfant has more on what you need to know.
Although no other debates between the two are planned, it will hardly be the last time that more than 17 million registered voters in Texas will see Abbott and O’Rourke on television before the Nov. 8 election. Both are blitzing airwaves with attack ads in what will wind up as one of the country’s most expensive races this year. Abbott stockpiled nearly $50 million before O’Rourke even entered the race last year and this week launched new spots calling the Democrat a "con artist."
O’Rourke, who remains one of the Democrats’ most prolific fundraisers after his failed runs for Senate in 2018 and president in 2020, quickly pulled in more than $30 million in the first half of the year and attacked Abbott over Texas’ new abortion ban in his first ads this month.that I have read and agree
