Urging Kamala Harris supporters to vote, Beyonce said, ‘Imagine our daughters growing up seeing what’s possible with no ceilings, no limitations’

After Eminem in Detroit, it was Beyonce’s turn to endorse Kamala Harris in Houston, the singer’s hometown. She said she was did not come as a celebrity or a politician but as a mother.

“I’m not here as a celebrity, I’m not here as a politician. I’m here as a mother,” the singer said during a rally on Friday night. Beyonce’s remarks echoed the broader sentiment during the rally, which stressed on the strict abortion ban in Texas and rise in infant death rates due to birth defects.

Beyonce said she is a mother who cares deeply about the world her children lives in. “A world where we have the freedom to control our bodies, a world where we’re not divided,” she added.

Urging the supporters to vote, she said, “Imagine our daughters growing up seeing what’s possible with no ceilings, no limitations.”

Beyonce, unlike in 2016 when she performed during the campaign rally of Hillary Clinton in Cleveland, did not perform in Houston. Eminem, too, chose not to perform during a rally in Detroit earlier this week. However, former US President Barack Obama who joined the rapper performed a rendition of Eminem’s Lose Yourself.

In July, Beyonce’s mother Tina Knowles endorsed Harris publicly. The same month, Harris began using Beyonce’s 2016 song Freedom as her campaign’s anthem after approval from Beyonce. The track from Lemonade reverberated once again during the rally on Friday.

Earlier, Billie Eilish and her brother Finneas O’Connel endorsed Harris. In September, Eilish said Harris and VP candidate Tim Walz are “fighting to protect our reproductive freedom, our planet and our democracy.” Finneas said Americans should not allow “extremists control our lives, our freedoms, and our future.”
