Kamala Harris rallies with Beyoncé and Willie Nelson in Texas
In a star-studded evening before tens of thousands of supporters, Kamala Harris held a rally in Houston that featured Beyoncé and Willie Nelson.
HOUSTON — In a star-studded evening before an electrified crowd of tens of thousands of supporters, Vice President Kamala Harris on Friday implored women and men to cast their ballots on Nov. 5 in defense of their freedoms and as a rejection to former President Donald Trump’s policies.
“Texas, what we’re experiencing here is a health care crisis, and Donald Trump is the architect of it,” Harris said.
“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,” she added. “We must be loud. We must organize. We must mobilize. We must energize.”
The largest event that Harris has held during her abbreviated run for president featured cameos from Houston native Beyoncè Knowles-Carter and Texas legend Willie Nelson.
Beyoncé sent the stadium into a frenzy when she took the stage with Kelly Rowland, who was in the group Destiny's Child with her. The superstar, whose song “Freedom” has served as an anthem to Harris’ campaign, did not perform. She said she there not as an entertainer or a politician but as a mother.
