Beto O'Rourke admits his Vanity Fair 2020 cover was a mistake as he attempts to relaunch struggling campaign
Texas Democrat and 2020 candidate Beto O’Rourke said Tuesday he regretted the way he began his presidential campaign, admitting his appearance on the cover of Vanity Fair was a mistake and that “no one is born to be president.”
“I think it reinforces that perception of privilege,” O’Rourke replied. “That headline that said I was ‘born to be in this’—in the article’s attempting to say that I felt my calling was in public service. No one is born to be the president of the United States of America, least of all me.” Former U.S. Representative and 2020 Democratic presidential hopeful Beto O'Rourke speaks during a town hall event on April 17 in Alexandria, Virginia.

But after his campaign announcement, O’Rourke has slid down in the polls among the crowded field of candidates vying for the Democratic Party’s nomination. As of May 14, there were 22 Democrats running for president.
