Beyoncé Endorses Kamala Harris at Massive Rally in Texas: 'I'm Here as a Mother'

On Friday, Beyoncé made a powerful appearance at a Houston rally, endorsing Vice President Kamala Harris in her presidential race against Donald Trump. Over 30,000 people gathered at a soccer stadium to witness the event. Beyoncé, introduced by her mother Tina Knowles, emphasized her presence as a concerned mother advocating for reproductive rights. Harris, aligning her campaign with these values, criticized Texas’ restrictive abortion laws, attributing their implementation to Trump’s influence.

The rally featured notable figures like Kelly Rowland and Texas icon Willie Nelson, adding star power to the event. Harris' focus on reproductive rights aligns with a strategy that has galvanized Democratic voters since the overturn of Roe v. Wade. Despite Texas’ conservative leanings, the rally aimed to energize voters not just in Texas but in battleground states crucial for Harris' campaign.

Meanwhile, former President Trump, campaigning in Austin, criticized Harris for associating with celebrities, and Republican leaders echoed concerns about border security. Despite facing a challenging battle in Texas, the event underscored the broader stakes of the 2024 presidential election, emphasizing Senate races that could shift the balance of power.

Beyoncé’s message at the rally was clear: "It's time for America to sing a new song." She and other celebrities like Kelly Rowland and Willie Nelson emphasized their support for Harris, aiming to inspire change and mobilize voters for the upcoming election.
