Former U.S. Rep Beto O'Rourke heads to Austin for voting rights rally

Former U.S. Representative Beto O'Rourke will make his way to Austin for a rally at the Texas State Capitol. It's his last stop before the U.S. Senate votes on the For the People Act, a federal voting rights expansion bill.

"Texas has become the epicenter in the fight for voting rights in America," said Beto O'Rourke.

In a one-on-one interview with CBS Austin, O'Rourke touched on voting rights legislation, border policies, and other legislative priorities.

"We’ve done about as much as we can do in this state and we now need our colleagues, our friends in the U.S. Senate, and President Biden to make this the priority it needs to be," said O'Rourke.
