Former US congressman Beto O'Rourke, who ran for the Democratic presidential nomination last year, is "making and receiving calls" about a potential run for Texas governor, according to Axios.
David Wysong, O'Rourke's former chief of staff, told the publication that "no decision has been made," adding: "He has been making and receiving calls with people from all over the state."
Sources confirmed to Insider that O'Rourke has yet to make a decision to run. The El Paso native vociferously fought against the state's new elections laws in 2021.
Sen. Ted Cruz narrowly bested O'Rourke in a 2018 Senate race with O'Rourke losing by less than 3 percentage points.
