Beto O'Rourke says he has made up his mind about a 2020 presidential run.
O'Rourke said in a statement Wednesday that he and his wife, Amy, "have made a decision about how we can best serve our country."
The former congressman became a national political sensation while nearly upsetting Sen. Ted Cruz last November in deeply conservative Texas. He said in a statement Wednesday that he and his wife, Amy,"have made a decision about how we can best serve our country" and were"excited to share it with everyone soon."and confirmed by an O'Rourke spokesman, who provided no further details.
But advisers close to O'Rourke have said for months that they didn't see another Senate run as a viable option, leaving the door open for a presidential bid.
