No candidate entered the presidential race with loftier expectations than Beto O’Rourke — or fell back so quickly afterward
DAVENPORT, Iowa — .
For O’Rourke, the town hall is an opportunity to reassert himself in the Democratic primary. For everyone else, the reintroduction — coming barely two months after his campaign launch — serves as a reminder of how tumultuous the 2020 landscape remains. For a candidate who catches a spark, she said, "The question is minimizing the fade: Can you build an organization that has the capacity to capitalize on those moments?”
O’Rourke’s supporters insist they're not worried about his current polling. They say many voters are still undecided, donating money to or volunteering for multiple candidates. And like other candidates running far behind Joe Biden and Bernie Sanders, O’Rourke remains relatively little known to the electorate, leaving time to make an impression.
However, the strategist said, “As I hear it, Jen is moving her entire family to El Paso. You don’t do that if the campaign is losing steam. I just don’t think it’s falling apart … If he’s raising at a clip similar to that with which he started, he’s one of three or four candidates right now, maybe five, who are going to be up in multiple states on television two months out [from the Iowa caucuses].
Sean Bagniewski, chairman of the Polk County Democrats, said that while Sens. Elizabeth Warren and Cory Booker have bigger teams in Iowa so far, “Beto has put together a pretty impressive ground game, and pretty impressive outreach in the limited time that he’s had.”After releasing a $5 trillion plan to address climate change that was widely praised by environmentalists, he recently supplemented his plan with ideas tailored to Iowa.
