Looks like Beto walked back his comments a bit, and has now left the door open to running:

Maybe he’s waiting til Texas gets bluer? I could see him go for governor in 2026, or try again for senate in 2024.

Yeah, that's the same vibe that I picked up here: he probably knows that TX ain't going (non-Atlas) blue as soon as 2022, so he probably feels that it'd be better to wait 'til the statewide political environment there is actually interested in electing a Democrat to something.

All media outlets reporting on this news are referring to him as an ex-W. strategist (because, y'know, he was literally the W. re-elect's chief strategist), except for Fox, who are referring to him as a "left-wing pundit." So, y'know, Fox journalism!

In any event, a friend of a friend is his campaign manager, so here's hoping that he has a chance!!
