Congratulations to our presumptive Democratic nominee, Joe Biden!
After debate duel, O'Rourke, Castro set dueling Austin events Friday
After an eye-opening showdown between Julián Castro and Beto O’Rourke during Wednesday’s debate in Miami, the presidential contenders will travel to Austin for separate Friday night events, inviting further comparisons between the two Texas candidates.
Only now, it’s Castro who is on the rise after the former San Antonio mayor went on the offensive in the debate, gaining political momentum at O’Rourke’s expense and capturing a coveted piece of the national spotlight.
Castro’s meet and greet, announced last week, will begin at 7 p.m. at Cheer Up Charlies, a downtown Austin bar.
Not to be outdone in a city ripe with Democratic voters, O’Rourke announced Thursday that he too will hold an Austin event Friday that will begin at 6 p.m. at Scholz Garten, only a few blocks from Castro’s gathering.
