Democrat Beto O’Rourke told reporters on Friday he is “not interested” in any campaign help from President Joe Biden or anyone from Washington D.C. He continues to distance himself from Biden who is suffering from some of the lowest numbers in presidential history.
Polling from Quinnipiac released last Wednesday reveals only 33% of Americans approve of the President’s job performance.
The numbers continue to plummet after a full year in office. The poll also shows Biden is underwater on his administration’s handling of the economy, COVID-19, and his foreign policy positions.

Beto O’Rourke announced his campaign for Abbott’s job in November. Previously he served as a US representative. And had unsuccessful campaign bids for the Senate, as well as the presidency.
It is promising that he raised $7.2 million in the first 46 days of his campaign. Greg Abbott has a war chest of $18.9 million he raised in the last six months.
At a news conference in Austin, the candidate claimed that his campaign intends to connect with 2 million voters in February. And they will educate them about the new voting laws.
