LeBron James is a big fan of the Democratic Senate candidate Beto O'Rourke.
While getting set to go against the San Antonio Spurs on Saturday, October 27 James was spotted wearing a "Beto For Senate" hat in support of the current Texas representative. HuffPost notes O'Rourke is competing for Republican Sen. Ted Cruz's seat in a tight race in the lone star state.

This isn't the first time James showed O'Rourke some love. In August, the Laker retweeted a video from Now This capturing O'Rouke's defense of the Take a Knee Movement.

“My short answer is no; I don't think it's disrespectful," O’Rourke said at a Houston campaign event. "Here's my longer answer, but I'm gonna try to make sure that I get this right because I think it's a really important question. And reasonable people can disagree on this issue. Let's begin there. And it makes them no less American to come down on a different conclusion on this issue, right?"
