Even before any of the candidates stepped onto the debate stage this week, they tried to squeeze the most out of their moment in Miami.
in Homestead that houses migrant children. Rep. Eric Swalwell of California went there Monday; former Rep. Beto O’Rourke of Texas is heading that way Thursday. At a Tuesday evening town hall at Florida International University, Elizabeth Warren was implored by a supporter to visit as well to draw attention to the facility.
There are so many candidates in this race that even the party’s veteran power brokers are having trouble keeping track of them all. American Federation of Teachers President Randi Weingarten momentarily forgot about Castro when she concluded a booming introduction of O’Rourke at a North Miami town hall Tuesday by branding him “the Texas candidate.” She stopped herself just before O’Rourke walked onstage and noted that there is actually also another one from Texas. “Sorry, my bad,” she said.
The event may have been humbling for O’Rourke, with a turnout of about 120 and a couple of dozen empty folding chairs. But O’Rourke’s decision to break from debate prep to chat with teachers paid dividends when a horde of reporters clamored around him afterward. It was not great news for O’Rourke that a poll released by the advocacy group Climate Nexus showed him with the support of 2% of Florida voters. But one of his lesser-known rivals — former Maryland Rep. John Delaney — welcomed the same result. Delaney’s campaign framed it as a moment, pointing out that Warren is the only candidate debating alongside him Wednesday night doing better in the Florida poll.
