Beto O’Rourke, a Texas Democrat who was touted by the mainstream media and the Democratic Party as the next President Kennedy, tried and Failure Defeated Republican Senator Ted Cruz in 2018, and drop out In the 2020 Democratic presidential race held in November 2019, even before the first round of voting in the primary election.
Obviously not afraid to show embarrassing performance again in the statewide Texas elections, O’Rourke is trying Become a thing Run for the Democratic Party again Governor nominated (Probably) compete with current Governor Greg Abbott in the 2022 general election.
Of course, to get there, Beto must win the Democratic primary. Although he is the only major Democrat to announce his candidacy so far, the names of other high-profile Texans are also emerging, including native Texas and actor Matthew Mai Connor.
Although I don’t know if McConaughey is a Republican, a Democrat or an independent, my guess is that he is likely to be a Democrat, even though he may be a centrist from the point of view he opposes. Cancel culture But agree Gun control with be opposed to Texas Fetal Heartbeat Method.McConaughey himself did not even rule out Possible operation, Said earlier this year that this was a “real consideration.”
Naturally, when a celebrity may be running for a higher position and arouse people’s disgust and discussion, the polling agency wants to know what voters stand on the celebrity’s chances of winning. Just this week, the results of the Dallas Morning News/University of Texas Taylor poll were announced, This indicates O’Rourke trails Abbott by 6% in two-way games and 11% in three-way games. McConaughey is 10% behind Abbott in such games.
But in the two-way duel between O’Rourke and McConaughey, the actor absolutely defeated him by 22%, and even led Abbott by 8%:

according to Texas law, The deadline for submitting himself to participate in the competition is about three weeks from now (December 13), so obviously McConaughey has no more time to consider whether he wants to throw his hat into the ring.
Nonetheless, this is terrible news for Beto’s campaign. Famous people like him voted so badly for a popular actor who has never held a public office, and his most famous film line is “Okay okay okay. ”
But maybe it is Because Beto O’Rourke is so well-known in Texas politics that his polls are so bad, especially considering his aggressive stance on gun control, or – more precisely – gun Confiscate, A location He insisted without apology To today:
