Beto O’Rourke postpones events after being hospitalized

Beto O’Rourke, Texas’ Democratic candidate for governor, will “postpone events” after being hospitalized with a bacterial infection, he wrote Sunday on Twitter.

“While my symptoms have improved, I will be resting at home in El Paso in accordance with the doctors’ recommendations,” O’Rourke said. He has been discharged from the hospital, campaign communications director Chris Evans said Sunday.

The former member of Congress was hospitalized at Methodist Hospital in San Antonio after feeling sick on Friday, he wrote. He was diagnosed with a bacterial infection and received care including IV antibiotics, according to the tweet.
