Houston native Beyoncé is set to perform at Vice President Kamala Harris' rally on Friday, sources confirm. The event, featuring other stars like Willie Nelson, aims to boost voter enthusiasm as Harris campaigns across Texas amid a closely watched Senate race.
A source has confirmed that Beyoncé will perform at the rally in Houston hosted by Vice President Kamala Harris on Friday. Beyoncé has previously supported Democratic campaigns, such as Hillary Clinton in 2016 and Barack Obama's first inauguration in 2008. This is an uncommon political engagement for her.
The event is a component of Harris' endeavors to mobilize voter support in Texas, although the state remains a Republican stronghold. The rally will also feature appearances by Tina Knowles, Beyoncé's mother, and country music legend Willie Nelson, according to campaign insiders. Like her recent campaign events featuring Bruce Springsteen and Eminem, the event emphasizes Harris' strategy of enlisting significant cultural figures to amplify her message.
It is anticipated that Beyoncé's participation will garner substantial attention, particularly given that the event is scheduled to occur in conjunction with a closely monitored Senate campaign between Republican incumbent Sen. Ted Cruz and Democratic challenger Rep. Colin Allred. The tightening Senate race has given rise to expectations of a higher Democratic turnout, although Texas is not expected to be a battleground state in the presidential election.
The rally is part of Harris' campaign's overarching initiative to mobilize electors in critical states. Other notable appearances on the campaign route include singer James Taylor, who will perform at an event in North Carolina alongside Harris' running mate, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz. Beyoncé's performance could further electrify the Houston rally, solidifying it as a significant moment on Harris' campaign trail.
