Celebrities support Beto O'Rourke after Texas Senate loss to Ted Cruz, advocate for 2020 presidency run
The likes of Alyssa Milano, Busy Phillips, Olivia Wilde, Jake Gylllenhaal, and Beyonce came out to voice their support for Beto this past week.
Texas Democratic Senate candidate Beto O'Rourke lost the race against Republican incumbent Ted Cruz, but he seems to have won the hearts of many, including celebrities, around the country. The race was a hotly contested one that saw O'Rourke push Cruz to the limits in what is considered a deeply red state, and his performance seems to have convinced supporters that he could very well be a legitimate contender for the presidency in 2020.
According to the Daily Mail, as soon as the results were announced and O'Rourke prepared to give his concession speech, several Hollywood stars such as Alyssa Milano, Busy Phillips, Olivia Wilde, Ike Barinholtz took to social media to advocate for the El Paso native.
