In 2019, O'Rourke launched a campaign for the Democratic nomination in the 2020 presidential race. Although his campaign began with considerable media attention and fundraising success, it failed to gain sustained momentum, and he withdrew from the race later that year.
During this period, O'Rourke became increasingly vocal about social justice and racial equality issues. In an August 2019 interview on MSNBC, he called President Donald Trump a racist and accused him of promoting white supremacist rhetoric. O’Rourke cited several controversial statements made by the president as evidence of what he described as dehumanizing views toward immigrants and people of color.
O'Rourke has been married to Amy Hoover Sanders since 2005. She is the daughter of real estate investor William "Bill" Sanders. Together, they have three children: Ulysses, Molly, and Henry. The family resides in El Paso, Texas.
While exact figures vary, O’Rourke’s net worth has been estimated in the mid-to-high six figures, largely attributed to business ventures and his family's financial background. His political campaigns and grassroots appeal have established him as a significant influence within the Democratic Party. Despite setbacks in statewide and national races, O’Rourke remains an active voice on key issues, including voting rights, immigrant advocacy, and public service reform.
