Folks in Hollywood aren’t too worried about Beto O’Rourke losing his Senate race against Republican Ted Cruz, because now they want him at a higher level — President of the United States!
Beto amassed more than $70 million in donations and gained huge exposure, but lost the battle by 50.9 to 48.3 percent margin. He later gave a concession speech in El Paso where he dropped an f-bomb on live television.
“I want to thank this amazing campaign of people. All people all the time, all the time, in every single part of Texas, all of you, showing the country how you do this. I’m so f–king proud of you guys,’” he said.
As soon as word got out that he lost, a slew of celebs tweeted an endorsement with the hashtag #Beto2020.
Would you vote for him?
Beto lost? That’s ok. Now he can run for President.
