Beto O'Rourke Spotted At Reagan Airport
The rising Democratic star drew the attention of tabloid news site TMZ.
ARLINGTON, VA -- A few weeks after his narrow defeat to Sen. Ted Cruz (R) in Texas in one of the highest-profile Senate election battles in recent memory, Rep. Beto O'Rourke was seen at Reagan National Airport recently.
Despite the loss, O'Rourke is still the congressman for the 16th district of Texas, which includes his hometown of EL Paso. He presumably was back in town for the "lame duck" session of Congress, and will serve out his term until he is replaced by successor Veronica Escobar (D) in January. After that, there are rumors he could mount a presidential run.
O'Rourke was seen at the airport with a cameraman from tabloid news site TMZ in tow.
