It's Election Day for the midterms in the United States, and thousands will make their way to the polls to vote for their preferred candidates.

Although many don’t publicly share the names of the people they voted for, celebrities, influencers, and public figures aren't unknown to endorse the candidates who best align with their beliefs.

Texas is one of the states that has the gubernatorial race on the ballot this Tuesday, November 8, and some famous names have already made their support for certain candidates notorious to the rest of the world.

Here are some celebrities and recognized names who have endorsed Texas candidates for governor during this 2022 midterm election.

Oprah Winfrey for Beto O'Rourke

In a tweet posted by Beto O’Rourke, the democrat thanked the TV personality for her endorsement.

"There are clear choices out there, and some dynamic candidates who are working to represent the values that we hold dear — the values of inclusion, the values of compassion and community that so many of us share … In Texas, Beto O’Rourke," the post reads.

Selena Gomez for Beto O'Rourke
