Susan Page: Beto O’Rourke Is Primarily Challenge to Biden

EXCERPT:

PAGE: “You talked in the last hour about who does Beto O’Rourke challenge, who does he threaten to overshadow? And it's certainly true that that’s going to be potentially an issue for some of the newer, fresher, younger, less experienced faces, but I actually think he’s primarily a challenger to Joe Biden in the same way that Barack Obama was a challenger to Hillary Clinton in 2008. And that he is also was a kind of centrist Democrat, he's a very appealing person, he can connect with voters, had something that Joe Biden has certainly done over the years. But he offers the fresh over the familiar. It’s not a guarantee that he succeeds but he certainly has a platform at a moment to have the opportunity to succeed in making his case against much more experienced contenders.”
