Some Complications
McConaughey has said before that he is measuring a bid for the Texas Governor position, but has not outright announced a full bid yet.
If McConaughey does run, there’s a high chance it could split the vote and ensure O’Rourke has no chance of winning the majority of the Democratic vote.
He remains optimistic however, stating that he wants to “push past the small and divisive politics.”
“I’m running for governor,” said O’Rourke in a tweet. “Together, we can push past the small and divisive politics that we see in Texas today — and get back to the big, bold vision that used to define Texas. A Texas big enough for all of us.
As it stands, Greg Abbot remains the favorite both in the polls and for US online sportsbooks.
