Muscatine, Iowa (CNN) Texting and driving is against the law in Iowa, but there is no such prohibition for campaigning while driving — a good thing for Beto O'Rourke, who is insisting on taking the wheel in the opening days of his bid for the White House. Yet he wasn't just driving, which no other presidential candidates regularly do. The day started with a 30-minute Radio Iowa interview, answering questions from a reporter in the passenger seat as he drove from Keokuk to Fort Madison. It ended with a Facebook live video, filmed by a staffer riding shotgun in the Dodge Grand Caravan. Just leaving Muscatine, Iowa, after a great house party," said O'Rourke, who buckled in and delivered a rolling message to his admirers following along on social media.
