O'Rourke Says He Will Not Attend Friday's Debate With Cruz [#TXPOLITICS 24/7]


On Monday, U.S. Rep. Beto O'Rourke, the Democrat running against Republican incumbent Ted Cruz in Texas' U.S. Senate race, announced that he will not attend a debate that had been scheduled for this Friday, blustering that it "is not going to happen."

The Daily Caller reports that O’Rourke was appearing at the 2018 Texas Disability Issues Forum in Austin when he said, "Friday in Dallas is not going to happen, but I'm convinced we will debate. I'm convinced there will be a number of debates."

O'Rourke complained that Cruz's campaign has "attempted to dictate" the time, the moderators, and the subjects for the debates. He said, "We're working through those differences, and we're trying to introduce more of a collaborative style to the negotiations than he may be used to."
