A lot is being made of the fact that Beto O’Rourke is holding a rally Monday night right down the street from President Trump in El Paso, Texas.

Don’t get excited, though; O’Rourke is still being pretty emo and says he’ll announce when the time’s right for him. Maybe he needs to drive around a little more to get in the right headspace.

.@BetoORourke is not planning to declare a presidential bid in El Paso tonight as he speaks outside Trump's first campaign rally of the year, @CNN has learned. If he jumps into the 2020 race, as most friends anticipate he will, he intends to do so on his own timing and terms. — Jeff Zeleny (@jeffzeleny) February 11, 2019

His friends anticipate he’ll jump into the race? Who knew he had friends? Still pretty emo, though: “I told you, Mom, I’ll declare when I’m ready! Now leave me alone!”

Tonight would be on his own terms and turf! — Alamo_on_the_rise (@AlamoOnTheRise) February 11, 2019

So that’s why he blew off the chance to declare when he had a massive audience on “Oprah”? And then he ended up asking her if she was thinking about running … bold move.

Who is trying to set timing and terms for Beto? — Blake Shaw (@BlakeShaw4) February 11, 2019

Yeah, who? Let’s doxx those suckers.

But seriously, if he has any campaign staff put together, they really ought to give him a little push: Kamala Harris, Elizabeth Warren, Cory Booker, Kirsten Gillibrand, Tulsi Gabbard, Pete Buttigieg, Julian Castro … they’re already off and running. Not far, but running.

So tomorrow then? — Bekah Freitas (@rebekahkfreitas) February 11, 2019

word is no one's going to announce at The Oscars next week either, hope you guys are on top of it getting the inside scoop on what Matt Damon's friends think about his primary chances — ? DAN (@DANB3D) February 11, 2019

I think Beto does what he wants. Just sayin'. — Never-Trumps Are Not Our Friends (@ElaineEdwards5) February 11, 2019
