Perhaps threatened by newcomer upstart Pete Buttigieg, former Texas Senate candidate Beto O’Rourke has made major changes to his stated policy platform in recent days — moving further to the left — culminating in a tweet issued Saturday, wherein Beto committed fully to the ideas of Democratic socialism.
O’Rourke, who hadn’t articulated a national domestic policy until Saturday, appears to be further to the left than Sens. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) and Kamala Harris (D-CA), two of the most leftward candidates in the race. In fact, based on his rhetoric, it seems Beto could be much closer to Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) than any other of the 2020 Democratic contenders.
