Amy and I have made a decision about how we can best serve our country," he said in an exclusive statement to The Dallas Morning News. "We are excited to share it with everyone soon."
O'Rourke has been weighing how to "best serve his country" (as well as his own political interests) since gaining national prominence during a senate bid that nearly unseated Texas Sen. Ted Cruz. Though Beto ultimately lost, he finished with a staggering fundraising haul of $80 million.
One recent Des Moines Register poll showed O'Rourke trailing only former Vice President Joe Biden - who is also expected to run - and Sanders for the nomination, though other candidates, like California's former "top cop" Kamala Harris, are beginning to pick up steam.
O'Rourke has kept an unusually low media profile since losing his race against Cruz, though he did appear alongside Oprah Winfrey on Feb. 5 for a discussion about his "future," where he said "I've been thinking about running for president."
"We want to play as great a role as possible making sure that this country lives up to our expectations, to the promise, to the potential that we all know her to have," he told Winfrey in front of an audience in New York City's Times Square.
Beto O’Rourke lied in his first debate about his drunken driving crash
O’Rourke is, of course, referring to his 1998 drunken driving accident in which he is said to have “struck a truck traveling the same direction,” hopped his car over the grassy center median before coming to a stop, and then tried to flee the scene of the crime.
And yes, he did try to flee.
