Beto O'Rourke is officially running for President in 2020

The former Congressman from El Paso Beto O'Rourke is officially running for President of the United States in 2020, KTSM in El Paso reports.

Beto will make a formal announcement Thursday morning, but he confirmed in a text to KTSM that he is going to run.

"I'm really proud of what El Paso did and what El Paso represents. It's a big part of why I'm running. This city is the best example of this country at its best," O'Rourke texted KTSM Wednesday.

Welcome to the war!

I'm still undecided, but like him. I like Warren and Biden more though. Harris is probably even.

Sen. Bernard Sanders (I-Vt) might be the second or third place finisher in 2020.

Beto will be doing a valuable service.

That was always the plan

BTW, Beto has moved into third choice toward the nomination on Predictit. Biden is 25, Sanders 24, Beto 19. Kamala Harris has been slowly dropping and now down to fourth at 15 cents.

On edit, actually it changed as I was posting...now Sanders 26, Biden 25 and Beto 18.
