Beyoncé finally endorses a presidential candidate at Houston rally

Days before the Democratic National Convention two months ago, there was a lot of conjecture that Beyoncé might attend.

But the frenzy did not occur.

The legendary singer took the stage at Vice President Kamala Harris‘ reproductive rights rally on Friday, in front of a boisterous throng in her hometown of Houston, Texas.

“I’m not here as a celebrity, I’m not here as a politician. I’m here as a mother,” Beyoncé said. “A mother who cares deeply about the world my children and all of our children live in, a world where we have the freedom to control our bodies, a world where we’re not divided.”

“Imagine our daughters growing up seeing what’s possible with no ceilings, no limitations,” she continued. “We must vote, and we need you.”

Harris was finally presented by Beyoncé, who was joined onstage by Kelly Rowland, a member of Destiny’s Child.

“America needs to sing a new tune. Together, our voices form a chorus. They sing of opportunity and dignity. She said, “Are you all prepared to contribute your voices to the new American song?” “Ladies and gentlemen, please give a big, loud, Texas welcome to the next president of the United States, Vice President Kamala Harris.”

She didn’t perform, in contrast to her 2016 appearance at a Hilary Clinton presidential rally in Cleveland.

“Freedom,” a song from Beyonce’s historic 2016 album “Lemonade,” has been adopted by Harris’ presidential campaign as its anthem.

The Harris rally in Houston highlighted the perilous medical fallout from the state’s strict abortion ban and put the blame squarely on former President Donald Trump.

“We know freedom is not to be given. It is not to be bestowed. It is ours by right, and we are prepared to fight for it,” Harris said. “We must be loud. We must organize. We must mobilize. We must energize.”

Since abortion was restricted in Texas, the state’s infant death rate has increased, more babies have died of birth defects and maternal mortality has risen.
