Beyonce Endorses Beto O’Rourke in Texas Senate Race
While other celebrities have been showing their support for particular candidates throughout the midterm elections' campaign season, Beyonce threw down a last-minute endorsement for Democratic representative and senate candidate Beto O'Rourke.
The Lemonade singer put up an Instagram post only a few hours before most of Texas voting polls closed. In the photos, Beyonce is dressed in black sweats in order to highlight a black and white "Beto for Senate" trucker hat on her head.
"I’m feeling grateful for everyone before me who fought so hard to give us all the right to have a voice," the "Formation" artist captioned the post. "We can’t voice our frustrations and complain about what’s wrong without voting and exercising our power to make it right. We need you. We all need each other, because when we are truly united we are unstoppable. Sending you all love and positivity on this happy voting day! Every vote counts Every race matters Everywhere."
She followed the gif with two more photo posts where the cap is in full view.
And while O'Rourke may have been busy doing some minute campaigning, he didn't miss the shoutout and made sure to show his gratitude.
Even though you might not see Beyonce heavily campaigning very often, she has shown her support for the Democratic Party in the past. She, along with Jay Z, endorsed Hillary Clinton during the 2016 Presidential Election. Bey and Jay has also long supported former U.S. President Barack Obama.
