The Pete thing is easy to explain. Pete set up an exploratory committee and he got some mainstream media coverage because he was the first openly gay presidential candidate. His announcement speech got some media coverage. Pete did a ton of media spots (radio, podcasts, local and national TV interviews) and people liked what they saw, so he rose in the polls ahead of more known candidates. Mainstream media coverage followed. Strick, are determined not to see people like about Pete, so you pretend he's a media creation rather than giving him credit for being the only new candidate to break through in the primary.
Beto is easy to understand. Same reason McGrath got a lot of attention and why Booker and Harrison are going to get a lot of attention. Democrats who take on hated Republican Senators in red states get attention. It's a good underdog story.
You make that seem like a white guy thing even though Abrams got plenty of underdog attention and has sustained that attention as well.
