After taking a week off to recover from a bacterial infection, Robert 'Beto' O'Rourke will be back on the campaign trail by Friday.
His staff says O'Rourke will resume his run for Texas Governor in Laredo, his first in-person campaign event since he went to a San Antonio hospital last Friday after leaving a book-signing because he was feeling poorly.
Reports say he was treated for an unspecified infection and once his symptoms subsided, he returned to his El Paso home where he was able to hold some virtual events.
With less than ten weeks before the election, Governor Abbott maintains a lead of about seven points in most Texas polls.
