Beto O'Rourke visits Laredo fresh off debate with Ted Cruz
Fresh off his first senatorial debate stage, U.S. Rep. Beto O'Rourke rode the momentum to the border on Saturday, hitting Del Rio, Eagle Pass and finally Laredo.
La Posada's San Agustin Ballroom was completely packed with supporters, and O'Rourke was greeted like a rock star. People chanted his name, held up their phones to take videos, shook yard signs and sported "Laredoans for Beto" T-shirts.
