Beto O'Rourke Reportedly Meets With Former President Obama The move raises more suspicion that O'Rourke is seriously considering a 2020 presidential run. According to 'The Washington Post,' the Texas Rep. met with Obama at the former president’s offices in Washington, D.C. on November 16. O'Rourke narrowly lost his bid to unseat
GOP Senator Ted Cruz in the
midterm elections last month. Most recently, when asked about a run in 2020, O'Rourke said he wouldn't "rule anything out." A recent Harvard CAPS/Harris poll shows that O’Rourke is the third most popular Democrat among potential
2020 candidates, trailing only Vice President Joe Biden and Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders.
