DUBUQUE, Iowa—Back when he was still just teasing a presidential run, Robert “Beto” O'Rourke told Vanity Fair he was “born to be in” the race. Now that he’s campaigning to far greater media attention and much larger crowds than many Democrats who’ve been competing longer, they are taking offense at the former Texas congressman’s sense of entitlement.
Minnesota Sen. Amy Klobuchar drew the sharpest such contrast on March 17, saying “I wasn’t born to run. But I am running” while acknowledging, “Oh, that’s the Beto line.”
