Beto's team begins national staffing talks amid 2020 buzz
A person with direct knowledge of the situation told The Associated Press on Thursday that O'Rourke's team is having early, formal staffing discussions. The person spoke on condition of anonymity to reveal the discussions before a campaign announcement.
Those close to O'Rourke have said for weeks that they aren't sure how he will divulge his intentions, whether by holding a rally or formal event, using online communications, making a television appearance or doing it some other way. O'Rourke was an avid user of Facebook Live while crisscrossing Texas and nearly upsetting Republican Ted Cruz in the U.S. Senate race in November.
O'Rourke raised $80-plus million from donors nationwide while losing to Cruz by fewer than 3 percentage points in Texas, where a Democrat hasn't won statewide office in 25 years. He began that race largely unknown outside his native El Paso and looking like a prohibitive longshot — but became a national star in Democratic circles for an optimistic, high-energy campaign and a compelling backstory that included a stint as a punk-rock guitarist while in college.
