Beto O'Rourke could be a threat — to former VP Biden on his right and Sen. Sanders on his left.
, O'Rourke has emphasized a Biden-esque message of civility while making a case that he can win the White House by stumping in the very Midwest states that Biden allies argue"Middle-Class Joe" is most capable of carrying.
O’Rourke might dispute the"centrist" characterization, noting he never backed away from liberal issues while running for Senate last year in Texas against Sen. Ted Cruz. And, as a presidential candidate, he's called capitalism"racist," vocally supported legalizing marijuana and spoken bluntly on immigration.
And O'Rourke, who draws comparisons to Barack Obama on the stump, is even challenging one of Biden's chief assets — his association with the popular former president. Of course, Biden hasn't even entered the race yet and polling at this point is likely on his high name recognition. "I think Biden is smart and a superb human being, but I think we need new ideas," said Carolyn Harryman, who came to O'Rourke's first campaign event in Keokuk, Iowa, and said beating Trump is her biggest concern in 2020.
