Just a few short months ago, Beto O’Rourke was the Democratic Party’s last, best hope. But after a series of unfortunate events — including a long vacation from the public eye to “recover” from the heartbreak of losing a Senate campaign to Ted Cruz — the former Texas hearthtrob is looking for a way back into America’s hearts, and he’s planning on using Oprah to do it.

On Tuesday, Beto O’Rourke will make an appearance on Oprah Winfrey’s live special, “Oprah’s SuperSoul Conversations from Times Square,” where he’s expected to talk about his presidential prospects and whether he’s planning on running for the nation’s top office in 2020, according to the Associated Press.
