The 2020 presidential campaign of Beto O'Rourke, the U.S. representative for Texas's 16th congressional district from 2013 to 2019, was announced on March 14, 2019. Beto O'Rourke had previously attracted national attention for his unsuccessful campaign against Ted Cruz in the 2018 Senate election in Texas. O'Rourke suspended his campaign on November 1, 2019, following a failure to gain significant support and financial constraints. On March 2, 2020, O’Rourke endorsed Joe Biden after Amy Klobuchar and Pete Buttigieg officially endorsed him.
