President Donald Trump’s longtime nemesis Rosie O’Donnell is all in against one of the president’s former campaign rivals – Senator Ted Cruz, R-Texas.
The comedian and actress, a flaming liberal, threw her support behind Rep. Beto O’Rourke, D-Texas, who is challenging the incumbent Sen. Cruz in 2018.

A “maxed out” donation by individuals to candidates for the United States Senate is $2,700, per Federal Election Commission rules.
O’Rourke’s bid is a long shot in bright red Texas, so Sen. Cruz is taking things in stride.
Out of touch liberals from across the US are trying to turn TX blue. We won’t let them. #CruzCrew, #KeepTexasRed https://t.co/yu7n6Z6MSO pic.twitter.com/xGdKn3WbvC

Senator Cruz is currently sitting on a massive $4.8 million war chest for his reelection campaign, according to FEC documents. So far, O’Rourke has about half a million dollars on hand, so he’ll need quite a few more liberal celebrities to max out their donations to catch up.
