Texas governor race: Abbott, O'Rourke haul in big bucks

There’s a popular and well-used saying that "everything is bigger in Texas." 

And that certainly seems to be true when it comes to campaign fundraising in the Lone Star State’s 2022 gubernatorial showdown.

Democratic challenger Beto O'Rourke announced on Tuesday that he brought in a record $7.2 million in the 46 days from his mid-November campaign launch through the close of most recent Texas fundraising period at the end of the year.
