Eva Longoria was in "tears" as she followed the elections and learnt that President Barack Obama won another term in a tight Presidential race on Tuesday night.
"I was moved to tears and I was so excited because we did work very hard for the campaign," Longoria said today on "Good Morning America," "But at the same time, it just showed that the middle class won and the super PACs didn't get to buy the election, they didn't get to buy America."
"It was a huge night for a lot of people. For women ...A huge night for the LGBT [community] that showed up for the president," she said. "And of course it was a huge night for Latinos, and I was very happy to be a part of that."
Eva Longoria served as co-chair of the Obama campaign Eva Longoria as campaigned in getting Latinos to vote. Her efforts paid off in "moving the country forward," she said. Longoria campaigned with the president in Las Vegas, appeared in political ads for him and gave a speech at the Democratic National Convention.
"Me and my friends celebrating! I'm in tears!" she tweeted. She followed it with another tweet congratulating the President for his acceptance speech.
"Amazing speech by @BarackObama re-elected for his 2nd term! America is and can be united for the greater good of all Americans!"
Longoria thanked everyone who volunteered, from those who knocked on doors and made phone calls, and those who came out to the polls to vote.
"Everybody who went out and voted and waited for hours...I went to Florida and I was there and I saw the lines and I said, 'This is ridiculous. I can't believe this happens.' We who live here in California, we just go down and it takes 10 minutes. To see people waiting in the cold and to see people who went through Hurricane Sandy and still made it to their polling sites, those are the people we have to thank."
