At a bustling rally in Houston, Texas, singers Beyoncé and Kelly Rowland took to the stage to introduce Vice President Kamala Harris. Harris’ campaign proudly declared the event as the largest of her campaign thus far. The rally also featured contributions from notable figures including Tina Knowles, Congressman Colin Allred, musician Willie Nelson, and actress Jessica Alba.
Beyoncé emphasized her role during the event, stating, “I’m not here as a celebrity. I’m not here as a politician. I’m here as a mother. Imagine our daughters growing up seeing what’s possible with no ceilings, no limitations.” This poignant message reflects her commitment to advocating for a future where young girls can envision a world free of obstacles.
Reports also indicate that Beyoncé’s appearance is aimed at highlighting the importance of abortion rights, a topic that has garnered significant attention in the lead-up to the election. The rally comes amidst heated discussions surrounding media endorsements of presidential candidates, with some expressing disappointment over The Washington Post’s decision not to endorse a specific candidate, describing it as a “stab in the back” and expressing sentiments of “dying in darkness.”
