Beyoncé recently showed her support for Vice President Kamala Harris by granting permission for one of her songs to be used during the presidential campaign. This gesture demonstrates Beyoncé’s approval of Harris and her candidacy.
Beyoncé’s Political Activism
While Beyoncé has not formally endorsed Harris, she has a history of supporting Democratic candidates. In the past, Beyoncé has shown her support for former President Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton during their respective campaigns. She has also used her platform to encourage her fans to vote for Democratic candidates.
Harris’ team sought approval from Beyoncé’s representatives to use the song “Freedom” featuring Kendrick Lamar from Beyoncé’s album “Lemonade” during a campaign event. Beyoncé, who typically is selective about the use of her music, swiftly gave her consent for the song to be played at the event in Wilmington, Del.
Vice President Kamala Harris has gained endorsements from various public figures, including Beyoncé’s mother, Tina Knowles. The support from celebrities and political figures demonstrates Harris’ growing popularity within the Democratic party.
Harris’ Presidential Campaign
With the announcement that President Biden will not seek re-election, Kamala Harris has emerged as a strong candidate for the Democratic party. She has secured enough support from delegates to become the party’s nominee against Republican candidate Donald Trump. Harris has yet to announce a running mate, but she has already received endorsements from prominent figures such as Hillary Clinton and Nancy Pelosi.
Beyoncé’s support for Kamala Harris through allowing her song to be used in the campaign is a significant gesture of approval. Harris’ growing popularity within the Democratic party and the support she has received from various public figures indicate a strong campaign ahead.
