Former Rep. Beto O'Rourke (D-Texas) is not running for Senate again but likely will announce a presidential bid soon, The Dallas Morning News reported Wednesday, citing sources close to O'Rourke.
Several people close to O'Rourke told the newspaper that he is expected to launch a presidential campaign in the next few weeks as Democrats gear up to take on President Trump in 2020.
"Amy and I have made a decision about how we can best serve our country," O'Rourke said in a statement to The Dallas Morning News. "We are excited to share it with everyone soon."
O'Rourke has been eyed as a potential top Democratic contender for 2020 after amassing a big social media following during his closely watched race against Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) last year.
