Analysis: Beto O’Rourke is running for president. Andrew Gillum and Stacey Abrams are 'working.'
Former Texas congressman Beto O'Rourke addresses a gathering during a campaign stop at a restaurant in Manchester, N.H., on March 21. By Eugene Scott Eugene Scott Reporter covering identity politics for The Fix Email Bio Follow March 21 at 5:53 PM The high-profile Democrats who lost their 2018 elections are still in the public eye. But not everyone is getting the same kind of attention.
Gillum added that O’Rourke has spoken about this himself. “As I understand it, the congressman also recognizes that there is privilege that accompanies him here. That doesn’t make him less deserving of consideration,” Gillum said. “It’s just something that has to be acknowledged.” Now, Gillum and Abrams are turning their attention to their home states. It’s not the only similarity. They both grew up in working-class families in the South before attending historically black colleges. During their campaigns, they drew significant support from the black communities that nurtured them and shaped their political worldviews.
