Former Rep. Beto O’Rourke announced that he was ending his presidential bid, saying that it was clear he did not have the means to continue funding his campaign. He also tweeted to his followers that his campaign was always about seeing clearly, and in that spirit, he would no longer be running.

Our campaign has always been about seeing clearly, speaking honestly, and acting decisively.



In that spirit: I am announcing that my service to the country will not be as a candidate or as the nominee. https://t.co/8jrBPGuX4t — Beto O'Rourke (@BetoORourke) November 1, 2019

Along with his tweet, the former representative included a lengthy post from the blog site Medium, thanking those that made it possible to run and for believing in his movement, sharing with his followers that what he’s doing is what’s in the best interest of those in the campaign and the Democrat party, vowed his support to the eventual Democrat presidential nominee. A few other things he thought important to touch on: climate change, systematic racism, white supremacy, and Donald Trump’s “encouragement of violence.”
