“I recognize that I can do a better job, also, of talking to a national audience,' the former Texas congressman told Maddow in an interview.
NEW YORK — Beto O’Rourke acknowledged publicly on Monday night what polling and outside observations of his campaign have shown for some time: He can and must do better at getting his message out across the country if he hopes to break through in a crowded Democratic field.
O’Rourke’s breakneck campaign pace — hitting 15 states in his first eight weeks as a candidate — and taking hundreds of questions at more than 100 town hall events have helped him build a loyal grassroots following, but have not sustained the kind of top-tier poll numbers and broad national enthusiasm that greeted his entry to the race, or his Texas senate campaign.
To that end, O’Rourke has embarked on a much more active media and fundraising strategy in recent days: sitting down with Maddow on Monday, the hosts of The View on Tuesday morning and more national media appearances are in the works.
