Kamala Harris Kicks Off Her Presidential Campaign With An Assist From Beyoncé

Kamala Harris continues to receive support from the Knowles family, with the latest coming from Beyoncé.

The "TEXAS HOLD' EM" hitmaker recently assisted the aspiring presidential candidate with her music, a rare move on Queen Bey's part. It comes days after her mother, Tina Knowles, publicly endorsed Harris' campaign.

Kamala Harris began running for the Democratic presidential nominee spot after President Joe Biden stepped down following mounting pressure for his exit due to age concerns.

Monday night marked Harris' first official visit to her campaign headquarters in Wilmington, Delaware, and she did so in style. The vice president stepped into the spotlight to Beyoncé's hit 2016 tune, "Freedom."

A source from Harris' camp confirmed their team received permission from Queen Bey to use her song, a rare occurrence as the sensational songstress is very protective of her music.

However, reports claim Beyoncé's approval arrived within hours of Harris' team's request. While she has not publicly endorsed the vice president's campaign, letting her use her music may be Queen Bey's way of showing her support.

Harris replaced President Joe Biden in the 2024 presidential race following increased calls for his exit from Democrats. Despite the growing support for the VP, she has yet to be anointed the Democratic presidential nominee, per TMZ.

Beyoncé's mother did not shy away from publicly supporting Harris and did so on Instagram. Tina shared a stunning picture of the duo posing side by side with matching bright smiles alongside the caption:

"New, Youthful, Sharp, energy !!!! You asked for it, and our President Biden did what was best for the country! Putting personal Ego, power, and fame aside. That is the definition of a great leader."

"Thank you, President Biden, for your service and your leadership. Go Vice President Kamala Harris for President. Let's Go #kamala2024," Tina raved, dropping four red heart emojis.

Her words received similar sentiments from fans, who applauded her support for Harris' campaign. Meanwhile, others urged her to get Beyoncé on the same team and do a possible collaboration with the VP on her Cécred hair care brand.

Tina's comment section blew up with thousands of messages, hoping that she and Beyoncé would actively support Harris' presidential campaign. One Instagram user urged, "Get Madame Harris in that Cecred chair for the press."

"Can we get a Cecred promo with her mama Tina???" Another echoed, while a third pleaded: "Yes, momma!! We need Beyoncé's voice, too." More fans penned their support for Harris, with someone raving:

"YES. I pray everyone rallies around Kamala. She was my original choice years ago! Let's go, ladies!!!!"

"Ok ladies, now let's get in formation!!!!" a social media user chimed, referencing Beyoncé's hit song. Another hoped a former First Lady would join the race, adding:

"Imagine if Michelle Obama was her running mate?!? Two women leading the country! I think we'd actually get sh-t done."

The Blast reported that Biden bowed out of the presidential race on Sunday, July 21, and endorsed Harris as his replacement. Following his exit, the Democratic fundraising platform announced the VP had achieved a remarkable milestone.

According to the platform, nearly $47 million was raised by small-dollar donors on ActBlue within seven hours of Harris's presidential campaign launch. These donations weren't significant just for their high value.

Reports showed Harris' donations represented the largest single-day achievement for online Democratic contributions since the 2020 election. Surprisingly, her biggest competitor used to be a fan.

Although former president Donald Trump may face Harris in the presidential race, reports revealed his family used to support the VP. Donald donated $5,000 in 2011, $1,000 in 2013, and $2,000 in 2014 to Harris' campaign for California Attorney General.

His daughter, Ivanka Trump, donated $2,000 to Harris' re-election committee in June 2014. These reports went viral on social media, with the Republican National Committee quipping:

"When Trump wrote that check to re-elect Kamala Harris in 2011, I bet he didn't think she'd cash it in 2024!"

While Kamala Harris has not been appointed the Democratic party's presidential nominee, she has enough support to earn the title. Will she beat Donald Trump in the race? Only voters can decide.
