LeBron James isn't afraid to wear his political views on his sleeve head.
Before the Lakers' Saturday road matchup against the San Antonio Spurs, the outspoken athlete was seen arriving to the AT&T Center wearing a "Beto for Senate" hat.
U.S. Senate candidate Beto O'Rourke is running in one of the most high-profile midterm elections in the country. The Democratic politician is going head-to-head with Republican incumbent Ted Cruz, who currently leads the Texas race by six points. Though LeBron will not vote in the Texas election, his endorsement could earn O'Rourke additional support.
