O'Rourke Suspends Daily Campaign Tuesday To Treat Bacterial Infection

[#TexasPolitics365]


A spokesperson for Democrat candidate for governor Beto O'Rourke told Reuters that doctors diagnosed him with a bacterial infection, causing him to suspend his  campaign for the day.

O'Rourke tweeted early Tuesday:
"After feeling ill on Friday, I went to Methodist Hospital in San Antonio where I was diagnosed with a bacterial infection.

The extraordinary team there — from custodians to nurses and doctors — gave me excellent care and attention, including IV antibiotics and rest."

The Reuters wire service felt it necessary to do a " fact check" to debunk rumors online that the Democrat nominee actually had monkeypox.
