Beto O'Rourke discussed Donald Trump, Ted Cruz, and a possible run for governor on an El Paso radio show, reported the El Paso Times.
KLAQ's Buzz Adams interviewed the El Paso native through Skype.
Toward the end of the interview, Adams asked O'Rourke about a possible run for Texas governor.
"It's something I'm going to think about," O'Rourke said. "This State has suffered perhaps more than any other in the midst of this pandemic."
He blamed Gov. Greg Abbott's poor leadership for El Paso's 1,600 Covid-19 deaths since March, 2020, and said Sen. Ted Cruz should resign because three state newspapers called on him to do so.
O'Rourke represented the 16th District in Congress from 2013 to 2019. He was defeated in his bid for the US Senate by incumbent Ted Cruz in 2018. He ran unsuccessfully for president in 2020, dropping out in November, 2019, just before Super Tuesday.
