Presidential candidate Beto O’Rourke visited the Lowcountry Friday night.“For all of these challenges, and the ways in which we can meet them together, I’m running to serve you as the next President of the United States of America,” said O’Rourke. The 2020 Presidential candidate took the time to talk about key issues in our country. Including immigration, reproductive rights, and healthcare. “There’s a lot of repairing that we have to do day one to make sure that this country is living up to its promise and fulfilling its potential. And every day it seems like the President adds another obstacle, and another challenge,” said O’Rourke. When he first visited South Carolina a few weeks ago, he phoned a familiar friend, Congressman Joe Cunningham. and he wants to continue the work that Cunningham started to turn South Carolina blue. “We’re seeing that across the country. A level of political engagement that has defied some of the cynicism, some of the disengagement, and some of the partisanship that we’ve seen in the past. We certainly saw it in Texas, and we’re seeing it here in South Carolina as well. I’m a big fan of Joe’s, the work that he has already begun, and the things that he wants to achieve,” said O’Rourke.
