The recent rally held in Houston, Texas, saw the iconic singer Beyoncé endorsing Vice President Kamala Harris as the next President of the United States. The event, which drew a massive crowd of 30,000 people, focused on reproductive rights, with both Beyoncé and Harris addressing the issue. Beyoncé, in her speech, emphasized that she was endorsing Harris not as a celebrity or politician, but as a mother who cares deeply about the world her children and all children live in.
Harris, who has been vocal about reproductive rights throughout her campaign, took the opportunity to criticize Texas’ restrictive abortion law, which bans the procedure after six weeks of pregnancy. The rally also featured speeches from individuals affected by the state’s abortion ban, highlighting the importance of protecting reproductive rights.
In addition to Beyoncé and Harris, singer Kelly Rowland, who is Beyoncé’s Destiny’s Child bandmate, also spoke at the event. The rally included a performance by Texas native Willie Nelson, who urged the crowd to support Harris in her presidential bid. Actress Jessica Alba also made an appearance, demonstrating the star-studded support that Harris has garnered.
The rally in Houston was the latest in a series of events where Harris has been joined by major celebrities. The previous night, Harris was supported by rock legend Bruce Springsteen at a rally in suburban Atlanta. The star-studded events have drawn large crowds and generated significant media attention for Harris’ campaign.
On the other side, former President Donald Trump, who was also in Texas on the same day, criticized Harris for campaigning with celebrities and accused her of ignoring the border crisis. Trump’s remarks were echoed by Republican National Committee chair Michael Whatley, who highlighted the issue of border security in Texas.
Overall, the rally in Houston showcased the strong support that Harris has from celebrities and the general public alike. As the 2024 presidential campaign heats up, events like these will continue to play a crucial role in shaping the narrative and mobilizing voters.
