Bush, and the first Democratic president from Texas since Lyndon B. Johnson.{{cn|date=March 2019}} O'Rourke raised $6.1 million in the first day from his announcement, beating out Bernie Sanders' $5.9 million and Kamala Harris' $1.5 million for the highest amount raised on day one.[3] BackgroundO'Rourke gained prominence on the national stage running for Senate in Texas, challenging incumbent Republican Ted Cruz. He narrowly lost, by a margin of less than three percent, in one of the tightest races that year.[4] He was widely touted as an effective fundraiser, raising more than $38 million in the third quarter, three times Cruz's totals for the same period.[5] In late 2018, speculation began that O'Rourke might run in the 2020 United States presidential election. Before the midterm elections, The New Republic mentioned that O'Rourke's Senate campaign was to help lay the groundwork for a potential presidential bid, especially since he was likely to lose his Senate race.[6] However, O'Rourke had repeatedly ruled out a presidential bid when asked on the campaign trail. He told MSNBC, "I will not be a candidate for president in 2020. That’s, I think, as definitive as those sentences get."[7] After losing the Senate race in Texas, O'Rourke mentioned at a town hall meeting that he and his wife had made a decision not to rule anything out.[8] Meanwhile, CNBC reported that O'Rourke's senatorial campaign team had held discussions with senior operatives who worked on former President Barack Obama's campaign as O'Rourke considers a run for the presidency.[9] Endorsements{{main|Endorsements in the 2020 Democratic Party presidential primaries#Beto O'Rourke}}AnnouncementOn March 14, 2019, O’Rourke officially announced that he is running for president for the 2020 election.[2] The first outlet confirming his announcement was KTSM-TV, El Paso's local NBC-affiliated TV station, where his former brother-in-law was once the news director.[10][11] See also
