Beyonce to join Kamala Harris at red state campaign rally: report


Singer Beyoncé is expected to join Vice President Kamala Harris during a rally in Houston, Texas, on Friday, the Associated Press reported Thursday. 

Harris will head to the Republican state of Texas on Friday, where she will hold a rally spotlighting the state’s abortion laws following the Supreme Court overturning Roe v. Wade in 2022. The Associated Press reported Thursday morning that Harris will be joined by Beyoncé, citing three people familiar with the event. 

Beyoncé, who is from Houston, has not yet endorsed Harris for president, but her song “Freedom” has become a hallmark of Harris’ rallies, including as Harris’ walk-up song before she addresses supporters.

Speculation mounted in August during the Democratic National Convention that Beyoncé would perform for the crowds on the convention’s final night. The singer ultimately did not perform or attend the DNC.
