Texas Congressman Beto O’Rourke became the Democratic Party’s golden boy in 2018 thanks to his near-miss campaign against Senator Ted Cruz. Yet since declaring his campaign for the presidency back in March, his poll numbers have steadily declined. In recent weeks Beto has earned glowing reviews for his fiery rhetoric on gun control and Trump’s racism—and for his support for the Democrats’ nascent impeachment effort—but will it be enough to reinvigorate his bid for the White House? Mehdi Hasan talks to the candidate ahead of next week’s crucial debate. Then, Intercept DC Bureau Chief Ryan Grim stops by to break down Beto’s campaign.

In December, the Washington media exploded in outrage, alleging that Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders had launched a coordinated war on Texas Congressman Beto O’Rourke, who is considering a bid for president. I was as surprised to hear this as you might have been -- and I was even more shocked to find out that the proof of this alleged “war” was my report in Capital & Main and The Guardian taking a look at O’Rourke’s congressional voting record. The report found that O’Rourke at times voted against the majority of his party to help pass Republican bills to deregulate Wall Street, chip away at the Affordable Care Act, boost fossil fuel production, and support a key piece of President Trump’s immigration policy. On this episode, we flip the mic around -- progressive podcaster Katie Halper interviewed me about the whole situation. During the conversation, we discussed the details of the report on O’Rourke, and we discussed the state of the Democratic 2020 presidential primary.
