This weekend, Nevada saw one of the Democratic party’s biggest stars make his debut: Beto O’Rourke.
Beto O'Rourke speaks from the roof of his car to an overflow crowd at a campaign stop at a coffee shop Sunday in Las Vegas.
After O’Rourke’s loss — and a somewhat protracted decision process that included a plea from Oprah Winfrey to run for president — he jumped into the wide-open fray this month. He hit Iowa because, as Iowans are quick to point out, it is the first caucus state. He went to New Hampshire and South Carolina, both of which hold early primaries.Nevada was the next logical step, and he landed Saturday afternoon and headed to a house in west Las Vegas for a meet-and-greet party hosted by Artie Blanco.
“We are proud people no matter where we’re from — no matter what part of Texas we’re from,” she said. “And at the end of the day, I know this is an opportunity for us. It is the time for us to get the power back to the people.” He listened as she told O’Rourke she’d like to be president one day. The candidate said if he were around that long, he’d vote for her. More pictures were taken. Television camera crews were packing up. Blanco urged people to take food with them as they left.
Anita Allen, 73, said she had been a Sanders supporter in 2016, and O’Rourke was the first candidate she’d seen this election cycle. She said she was enjoying Nevada’s power to draw candidates and planned to see several more before deciding on one.Outside, leaning on a crutch, Tracy Trolle, 45, had already decided on O’Rourke. She said she liked O’Rourke’s message of treating people with dignity — a word that peppered his speech at the taqueria and later at the packed Pour Coffee Shop.
