Former Congressman Beto O'Rourke may run for Texas governor.
He told an El Paso radio station this week he was considering the campaign due to Governor Greg Abbott's handling of the coronavirus pandemic.
The Democrat says it's important to have someone in the Governor's Mansion who takes care of everyone.
Republican Gov Greg Abbott is planning to run for a third term.
O'Rourke came close to ousting Republican U.S. Senator Ted Cruz in 2018 and briefly ran for president in 2019.
Abbott has not commented, but a strategist told The Dallas Morning News a few weeks ago he was not going to take the 2022 election for granted.
