“The government at all levels is overly represented by white men,” former Representative Beto O'Rourke of Texas said before announcing his 2020 presidential bid.
Former Texas Congressman Beto O'Rourke has officially thrown his hat into the ring for the 2020 presidential race, joining a crowded field of contenders hoping to unseat President Donald Trump.
"I totally understand people who will make a decision based on the fact that almost every single one of our presidents has been a white man, and they want something different for this country," he said."And I think that’s a very legitimate basis upon which to make a decision." "This is a defining moment of truth for this country and for every single one of us," he said."The challenges that we face right now, the interconnected crises in our economy, our democracy and our climate have never been greater and they will either consume us or they will afford us the greatest opportunity to unleash the genius of the United States of America."
