LISTEN: Political Expert Says O'Rourke's Chances Slim

Professor Jim Henson, head of the Texas Politics Project at the University of Texas, tells Texas Public Radio's Ryan Poppe that despite Texas Democrats having not seen for decades the type of energy around Beto O’Rourke's campaign to unseat Republican U.S. Senator Ted Cruz, O'Rourke's chances are slim.

Ryan Poppe can be reached at rpoppe@tpr.org or on Twitter @RyanPoppe1

Ryan started his radio career in 2002 working for Austin’s News Radio KLBJ-AM as a show producer for the station's organic gardening shows. This slowly evolved into a role as the morning show producer and later as the group’s executive producer.
