Walz and O’Rourke Rally in Texas to Chart Democrats’ Path Forward

The town hall in Fort Bend County drew 2,000 attendees, highlighting frustrations with both parties and calls for stronger grassroots action.

Minnesota Governor Tim Walz and former Congressman Beto O’Rourke hosted a town hall in Fort Bend County, Texas, addressing the Democratic Party’s future after its 2024 presidential election loss.
The event, attended by approximately 2,000 people, was organized in response to Republican Congressman Troy Nehls’ refusal to hold a similar town hall in his district.
Walz and O’Rourke criticized both Republican policies under President Trump and Democratic leadership, calling for bolder strategies and deeper engagement with working-class voters.
Attendees voiced concerns about income inequality, immigration, and a perceived lack of strong Democratic messaging, urging leaders to take more decisive action.
The speakers emphasized grassroots activism as essential, encouraging individuals to amplify their voices through political participation and coalition-building.
