What began as a rumor on the last night of the Democratic National Convention in August has finally become reality: the BeyHive will join forces with the KHive as Beyoncé will share the stage with Vice President Kamala Harris at a rally in the singer's hometown of Houston, Texas.
Beyoncé’s 2016 hit “Freedom” is the official anthem for the Harris/Walz campaign. Last summer, Vice President Harris was among the VIPs in the Beyhive at Beyoncé's Renaissance concert just outside of Washington, DC.
Excited fans lined up outside of Shell Energy Station for more than six hours ahead of gate time for the first-come, first-served rally, with a seemingly endless line accumulating in a state where Democrats usually don't even bother to campaign.
The Vice President will be focusing on reproductive rights, which are all but non-existent in the Lone Star State. With the future of their healthcare at stake, women have been turning out for Vice President Harris, setting early voting record numbers in key battleground states.
Legendary Willie Nelson, as well as Rep. Colin Allred (D-TX), who's in a tight race against incumbent Sen. Ted Cruz, will also appear at the rally, which had over one million ticket requests.
Vice President Harris spoke to reporters ahead of her rally speech to comment on Donald Trump's latest anti-American rhetoric where he referred to America as a "garbage can."
At the same time, President Barack Obama was stumping for the Vice President in North Carolina after their powerhouse rally in Georgia on Thursday.
