Beto O'Rourke makes Sioux Center stop [View all]
Beto didn't change his message at all in this town hall. This willingness to show up and his ability to connect is exactly how he broke records in Texas and won the support of Independents and half a million Republicans. There is not a state that Beto can't complete in.
Jerald Mokros drove through the Saturday morning thunderstorm from his Sioux Falls, S.D. home to attend the O’Rourke town hall event.
The 18-year-old graduated high school this spring, and he plans to attend the University of Nebraska-Lincoln this fall.
“I really like how he’s willing to compromise and work with anyone,” he said of O’Rourke. “It’s really nice to see someone who will actually work with both sides and get something done.”
Before this event, he favored President Donald Trump for 2020.
“I still kind of do, but if Beto did run against Trump, I don’t know,” he said, with a chuckle. “I’d have to wait. I do agree with Trump. If I could have voted in 2016, I would have voted for Trump. But Beto has definitely made it a hard choice.”
