Beyonce endorses Beto O’Rourke on Instagram

Beyonce tried Tuesday to drag Rep. Beto O’Rourke, Texas Democrat, across the finish line in his bid to unseat Republican. Sen. Ted Cruz.

The pop and R&B diva posted several pictures early Tuesday evening to her Instagram account of her donning a “Beto” cap and rockin’ out.

I’m feeling grateful for everyone before me who fought so hard to give us all the right to have a voice. 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.

The Houston native’s endorsement to her 120 million Instagram followers — the vast majority not living in Texas — came a bit more than three hours before the polls closed in Texas at 9 p.m. EST.

Mr. O’Rourke was grateful for the wordless endorsement, retweeting one of the pictures from his own Twitter account and writing “thank you, Beyoncé!”
Mr. Cruz has been leading consistently but not overwhelmingly in polling in the deep-red state.
