President Trump held his first political rally of the year in El Paso, Texas Monday evening; speaking to thousands of supporters just miles from Mexico as he ramped up calls for increased security and his proposed border wall.
The Commander-in-Chief’s sold-out event came as Texas Rep. Beto O’Rourke held a dueling campaign rally in protest of Trump’s immigration policies.
“He challenged us,” said Trump. “Not good… I would say that may be the end of his presidential bid.”

Beto trying to counter-program @realdonaldtrump in his hometown and only drawing a few hundred people to Trump’s 35,000 is a really bad look.
