O'Rourke, a Democrat, has been campaigning across the Lone Star State in his bid to deny Texas Gov. Greg Abbott, a Republican, a third term. His gubernatorial campaign abruptly canceled events over the weekend, including one on Friday soon after it was scheduled to begin, saying the Democrat was not feeling well without elaborating further.
"After feeling ill on Friday, I went to Methodist Hospital in San Antonio where I was diagnosed with a bacterial infection," O'Rourke tweeted Sunday, adding that:"The extraordinary team there — from custodians to nurses and doctors — gave me excellent care and attention, including IV antibiotics and rest.
"While my symptoms have improved, I will be resting at home in El Paso in accordance with the doctors’ recommendations," he continued."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."O'Rourke was signing books at a campaign stop when he began feeling unwell, the owner of the bookshop where the event was taking place told The Mesquite.
