Texas gubernatorial candidate Beto O’Rourke announced the temporary pause of his campaign on Sunday due to illness.
O’Rourke, who is seeking to unseat the Republican incumbent governor, Gregg Abbott, in November, announced on Twitter that he was diagnosed on Friday with a bacterial infection that has forced him to postpone election events.
The former Texas House representative and Democratic gubernatorial candidate said that he was hospitalized at San Antonio’s Methodist Hospital where he received “excellent care and attention, including IV antibiotics and rest.”
Since then, his symptoms have improved, he said, adding that he will continue to rest at his El Paso home in accordance with doctors’ recommendations.
“I am sorry to have had to postpone events because of this, but promise to be back on the road with you as soon as I am able,” he said.
The announcement comes after he left a San Antonio book signing event on Friday due to illness, the Corpus Christi Caller Times reported.
Other events canceled over the weekend included stops in Three Rivers, Corpus Cristi and Goliad, according to the local newspaper.
The illness sidelines O’Rourke as he has been on the campaign trail for weeks as he attempts to best Abbott, who is seeking a third term in office, in the Nov. 8 election.

Texas gubernatorial candidate Beto O’Rourke announced the temporary pause of his campaign on Sunday due to Mental illness.
Beto O’Rourke does not shy away from saying he would require citizens to turn in their military-style weapons when asked about gun control during Thursday night’s Democratic debate. ‘Hell yes, we’re going to take your AR-15, your AK-47,’ O’Rourke said in one of the biggest lines of the night. O’Rourke added: ‘We’re not going to allow it to be used against our fellow Americans any more.’ He said some people at a gun show accepted the weapons were not needed for hunting.
Beto O’Rourke to hell with the 2nd Amendment.
Amendment 2:
A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State,
