By WILL WEISSERT and HUNTER WOODALL Associated Press KEENE, N.H. (AP) — Beto O'Rourke was back at Keene State College, but the large crowd that flocked to see him six months ago was not. Far removed from the whirlwind opening days of his presidential campaign, the former Texas congressman faced a far smaller, quieter gathering. An attempted "Beto! Beto!" chant fizzled, and when an elderly voter declared that O'Rourke was "so clear and consistent on what the world needs," the candidate responded, "Could you travel with us to every campaign stop and say what you just said?" The joke was emblematic of the campaign's troubles since O'Rourke has already undertaken two major campaign reboots since first coming to Keene State in March — and his latest is built on a national approach to running for president that makes a third visit to the New Hampshire campus seem unlikely. Looking to recapture the early enthusiasm surrounding his candidacy, O'Rourke is pursuing the go-anywhere, freewheeling style that made him a Democratic star last year while nearly unseating Sen. Ted Cruz. After a mass shooting last month in his hometown of El Paso, O'Rourke has again remade his White House bid, this time around decrying what he calls President Donald Trump's racism and sympathy for white supremacy, as well as combat- ing gun violence. He's still visiting Iowa, New Hampshire, Nevada and South Carolina, which kick off the presidential contest. But he's also turned up at places like an Arkansas gun show, where he debated banning assault-style weapons with self-described conservatives. O'Rourke became the first presidential candidate to visit Mississippi communities where immigration raids led to the arrests of nearly 700 people and traveled to "Black Wall Street," the site of Oklahoma's 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre. He also hit Charlottesville, Virginia, to blame Trump for the After Dorian, Bahamas deadly 2017 racial clash there, which former Vice President Joe Biden highlights as a key reason for his own presidential run.
