With just days remaining until the U.S. Election Day, Houston brims with excitement as Beyonce Knowles is expected to support Vice President Kamala Harris at a hometown rally.
- Oct 24, 2024
AceShowbiz - Pop superstar Beyonce Knowles is rumored to appear at a Kamala Harris campaign rally in her hometown of Houston, Texas, on October 25.
Multiple sources, including The Washington Post, CNN, and ABC News, have reported that Beyonce will attend the event, which will be one of Harris' final addresses to voters before Election Day on November 5. The venue for the rally has not yet been announced.
While no further details have been released regarding whether Beyoncé will perform or speak at the event, the Democratic National Committee (DNC) has confirmed that her mother, Tina Knowles, and country music legend Willie Nelson, who collaborated with Beyoncé on her song "Cowboy Carter," will be present.
Beyoncé has not publicly endorsed Harris in the 2024 election cycle, but her impact on the vice president's campaign has been significant. Her song "Freedom" has become Harris' walkout song, and Queen Bey reportedly gave direct approval for its use.
Beyoncé has a history of supporting political causes. In 2016, she performed with Jay-Z at a Hillary Clinton rally. She endorsed Joe Biden's campaign in 2020.
Her appearance at the Harris rally continues a trend of musicians supporting the vice president's campaign. Megan Thee Stallion, Bon Iver, Pink, Stevie Wonder, and others have performed at Harris rallies this year. Taylor Swift, Billie Eilish, Cardi B, and Katy Perry are among the artists who have publicly endorsed the Democratic ticket.
Harris' Houston rally comes amid her focus on abortion restrictions in Texas, a traditionally Republican state. The vice president has blamed her opponent for the bans made possible by the Supreme Court's overturn of Roe v. Wade.
