It was Beyoncé who gave Kamala Harris’s presidential campaign a major boost on Monday night when the singer’s hit song “Freedom” played during Harris’s first formal visit to her campaign headquarters.
The inspiring song played as Harris took the stage at her Wilmington, Delaware, headquarters. She had obtained permission in advance to use the song from Beyoncé’s reps. Considering Beyoncé’s strict guidelines on the usage of her music, this approval is noteworthy.
A close associate of Harris told CNN that Beyoncé approved the campaign’s use of “Freedom” in just a few hours after the request. Despite the fact that Beyoncé has not yet provided a formal endorsement, this action indicates the music icon’s strong support. But Tina Knowles, Beyoncé’s mother, has already endorsed Harris.
Despite not being the official Democratic presidential nominee just yet, Kamala Harris is regarded as the front-runner and has strong support from party officials and funders. It seems that she has garnered sufficient support from the delegates to secure the nomination.
After President Joe Biden withdrew, Harris rose to the top of the Democratic ticket under increasing pressure from party insiders. As the election approaches, Harris’ campaign is gaining traction because to the strong support of celebrities like Beyoncé.
