O’Rourke finished within 3 percentage points of Cruz, a solid performance compared to past Democrats in recent Senate races in deep-red Texas.
“#Beto2020” was trending on Twitter immediately following the El Paso congressman’s defeat last week.
“Upgrade your Beto sign and let him know we’re ready for his next campaign –whatever it is!” the Travis County party said on its Facebook page. “RESIST. REUSE. RECLAIM AMERICA!”
O’Rourke has consistently denied presidential aspirations for 2020.
“I will not be a candidate for president in 2020,” O’Rourke said on MSNBC. “That’s, I think, as definitive as those sentences get.”
