Beyonce endorses Harris at Texas rally: “I’m here as a mother”

Superstar singer Beyonce took the stage at a rally for Kamala Harris in Houston on Friday night, offering her first public political appearance this election cycle at a crucial moment for the Democratic presidential candidate. Beyonce, a Houston native, walked on stage to roaring applause from the crowd of some 30,000 attending Vice-President Harris' abortion rights-themed rally, alongside fellow former Destiny's Child member Kelly Rowland. Instead of singing, Beyonce addressed the crowd for several minutes. "I'm not here as a celebrity. I'm not here as a politician. I'm here as a mother," Beyonce said. "Your freedom is your God-given right, your human right." The superstar performer's political appearance this election cycle comes at a crucial time for the Democratic presidential candidate. Harris' summertime lead over Republican opponent Donald Trump has all but evaporated, national opinion polls show, and she is within the margin of error in the battleground states, her campaign says.
