Democratic presidential candidate Beto O’Rourke arrives to meet voters in downtown Keokuk, Iowa, on Thursday. In the first five days of his campaign, O’Rourke asked voters to shape him into the presidential candidate they want him to be, to help him draft a vision for America. His presidential campaign is an expansion of that effort. He even kept the same logo, replacing the words “for Senate” with “for America.”As a presidential candidate, O’Rourke has heavily focused not on specifics but on two sentiments: positivity and humility. “He’s not saying ‘straight Democrat,’ he’s not saying ‘independent,’ he’s not saying ‘just progressive,’ and he’s not saying no to ‘Republican’ — that’s just it, he includes everyone.
