A playbook for grass-roots campaigning, we follow Beto O'Rourke's rise from political unknown to national sensation through his bold attempt to unseat Ted Cruz in the US Senate. Embedded with Beto for his entire campaign, Running with Beto follows his journey through access to O'Rourke, his family, and a team of political newcomers. The film reveals the challenges of an unconventional campaign as Beto navigates an onslaught of negative advertising, strain on his family, and the pressure of delivering for passionate supporters.
