Texas Democrat Beto O’Rourke will have to pause campaign events against incumbent Republican Governor Greg Abbott as November’s midterm elections heat up because he has been diagnosed with a bacterial infection.
“After feeling ill on Friday, I went to Methodist Hospital in San Antonio where I was diagnosed with a bacterial infection. The extraordinary team there — from custodians to nurses and doctors — gave me excellent care and attention, including IV antibiotics and rest,” Mr O’Rourke tweeted on Sunday.
