Beyoncé formally endorsed Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris for president of the United States of America.
The superstar singer, joined by pal Kelly Rowland, voiced her support for VP Harris at a rally on October 25th in her hometown of Houston. Kamala Harris supporters waited for more than 12 hours to see the superstar at a Houston rally Friday night. Instead of hearing the superstar sing “Freedom,” which is now inextricably connected to Harris’ campaign through her first campaign video ad and which is blared at rallies, they listened as Beyoncé gave a moving endorsement for the presidential candidate.
“I’m not here as a celebrity. I’m not here as a politician,” Beyoncé said, standing on stage in a black tailored suit next to Kelly Rowland, a member of Destiny’s Child. “I’m here as a mother, a mother who cares about the world our children live in, a world where we have the freedom to control our bodies, a world where we are not divided, our past or present or future.”
The Houston native and mother of three spoke about reproductive rights. “Imagine our daughters growing up seeing what’s possible with no ceilings, no limitations,” she said
