Beto announced on Twitter:

After feeling ill on Friday, I went to Methodist Hospital in San Antonio where I was diagnosed with a bacterial infection.

The extraordinary team there — from custodians to nurses and doctors — gave me excellent care and attention, including IV antibiotics and rest.

While my symptoms have improved, I will be resting at home in El Paso in accordance with the doctors’ recommendations.

I am sorry to have had to postpone events because of this, but promise to be back on the road with you as soon as I am able.

Texas Governor Greg Abbott is currently leading O’Rourke 49.3% to 40.4% according to Five Thirty-Eight.
