By Jenna Johnson Jenna Johnson National political correspondent covering campaigns and voters Email Bio Follow March 9 at 7:22 PM AUSTIN — As soon as the lights fell for the Saturday premiere of the HBO documentary “Running with Beto,” former congressman Beto O’Rourke sneaked into the darkened movie theater with his wife and daughter.
O’Rourke gave the documentary crew full access to his family and several campaign staffers for more than a year, allowing them to gather 700 hours of footage. O’Rourke said he trusted the filmmakers to be respectful of his family and that the team was “genuinely interested in telling our story, we could feel that.”
“I’m ready for it to be over,” his oldest son Ulysses, then 11, said late in the campaign when both of his parents were away from home several days a week.“I’m having a super hard time right now,” O’Rourke said at one point, driving himself to a campaign event. “To have like the Wall Street Journal reporter asking me 50 questions in an hour to then, right away, sit down in front of the NPR reporter and dance for a little while in front of him.
Two years later, she had a change of heart. O’Rourke was elected to the House of Representatives three times, then was motivated by the election of President Trump to run for Senate — a decision that Amy O’Rourke said was “easy” to make.

Democrats are a joke
Trump would toy with little Beto like a Cat with a little mouse . I can see Trump licking his chops at a frightened little Beto now
By the reaction of all the Russian trolls, right wing nuts and fake accounts piling on the article comments and twitter, Beto clearly makes them nervous.
Darken fits nice for this fake Mexican’t. He joins Pocahontas.
Accompanied by his dentist
YouTube Joe Rogan and Andrew Yang!
This guy has ZERO chance. He is on film saying we need to tear down existing borders. What an idiot.
Kind of like your 'Democracy dies in darkness'
Is it too much to ask for a Presidentisl candidate who isn’t a White Male? Perhaps 40-50 so they clearly recall the economic swings from the 1990’s and Y2K-2002 period?
Give me a break...
😂😂😂
Just took my headphones off to read for Better or Worse.
This is the guy that's going to back down Putin and negotiate with President XI? 😆👎
If BetoORourke was vice president of someone that I felt comfortable supporting, THAT is a winning ticket.
Beto is corporatists creation
The big screen is the ideal format for nothingness.
Ugh love him, but he’s gotta move on and start helping dems.
fakeassedmexican puppet
The lights are on, but Beto's not home. Beto's as empty as an oil drum, and just as dumb.
I have no idea what this means , but he seems to really be screwing this up, shit or get off the pot BetoORourke
Robert Francis is an empty vessel. In contrast, love her or hate her at least AOC has something to say and is sparking debate
Not impressed! Why him for a documentary?
this is fake news defining the limits of debate, O'Rourke is an establishment favorite, so this is the scandal you're allowed to talk about, everything else is a conspiracy theory
