AUSTIN, Texas — Texas Democratic gubernatorial candidate Beto O’Rourke on Friday said that he would have no interest in getting campaign assistance from President Joe Biden, who has seen his approval ratings plummet in recent months.
O’Rourke told reporters he would not seek the help of any politician from Washington when asked if he would accept help from Biden during his bid to oust Gov. Greg Abbott from office.
“I’m not interested in any national politician — anyone outside of Texas — coming into this state to help decide the outcome of this,” O’Rourke said. “I think we all want to make sure that we’re working with, listening to and voting with one another here in Texas.”
