From KUT:
Beto O’Rourke is running for the Democratic presidential nomination among a field of candidates that includes six women and five people of color, so far.
His supporters – especially his female supporters – have complex feelings about the fact he’s a white man. It’s something O’Rourke is trying to navigate, too.
