Beto O'Rourke, who announced March 14 that he would run for the Democratic nomination for president in 2020, is set to return to El Paso this Saturday for a rally being held in Downtown.

This will be his first visit to Texas since he made his announcement and will be holding rallies in Houston and Austin later in the day.

Here are things to expect when Beto O'Rourke visits El Paso.

Details on the Beto for America rally

The rally starts at 10 a.m. Saturday and will be held in Downtown El Paso, at El Paso and Overland streets.

The event is free, but those who would like to attend are asked to RSVP. According to Beto's campaign site, more details will be available soon.

El Paso GOP rally will be held, too

The El Paso County Republican Party will have a "Support Trump Rally" on Saturday countering Democrat Beto O'Rourke's campaign kickoff a block away Downtown.

The GOP demonstration supporting President Donald Trump will be 9:30 a.m. to 11 a.m. at the corner of Santa Fe Street and West Overland Avenue.

Beto 2020 ... It's official

Beto O'Rourke who was a little known congressman from El Paso when Trump was elected, officially entered the 2020 presidential race, ending months of speculation that began after the Democrat narrowly lost a Senate seat in reliably red Texas.

O'Rourke hits the road

In an impromptu question-and-answer gathering in Keokuk, Iowa, Beto O'Rourke briefly answered questions on topics such as drugs, wages and women's rights.

O'Rourke said he is in support of legalizing marijuana. Several states have decriminalized personal use amounts of marijuana and legalized for medical use. A few have even allowed marijuana for recreational use. However, marijuana remains an illegal Schedule I drug at the federal level.

Beto said productivity in the United States has gone "through the roof," but wages have failed to keep up. He said other components of the economy such as healthcare and child care are critical. O'Rourke added that he wants the minimum wage to rise to $15 per hour within six year.

O'Rourke said building up broadband and connectivity in rural communities is important because so much of the modern economy — and life — revolves around the Internet.

Since Iowa, O'Rourke has visited states including New Hampshire, South Carolina and Nevada.

Previous Beto Rally

Beto O'Rourke did not announce whether he would run for president at a protest in El Paso on February 11, but that didn't stop attendees from treating the event like a campaign rally for their former congressman.

The protest, aimed at countering President Donald Trump's event in El Paso on the same night, had all the trappings of a campaign rally and vendors urged attendees to purchase "Beto 2020" buttons, hats, T-shirts and flags outside the event.
