Beyoncé Gives Kamala Harris Permission to Use "Freedom" for Presidential Campaign
In a powerful and symbolic move, Vice President Kamala Harris made a memorable entrance at her campaign headquarters on Monday evening, stepping out to Beyoncé’s empowering anthem, “Freedom.” This strategic choice highlights Harris's campaign themes of resilience and liberation.
A reliable source close to the Harris campaign disclosed that Beyoncé’s representatives swiftly granted permission for the use of “Freedom” throughout Harris’s presidential campaign. Beyoncé, known for her stringent clearance policies, gave the green light on the same day Harris debuted the song, signaling a notable gesture of support.
While Beyoncé has yet to make a formal endorsement, her decision to allow Harris to use “Freedom” is seen as a significant nod of approval. The campaign has not received a response from either Harris’s team or Beyoncé’s representatives regarding further endorsements.
Adding to the momentum, Beyoncé's mother, Tina Knowles, publicly endorsed Harris shortly after President Joe Biden announced he would not be seeking re-election. Knowles took to Instagram, sharing a photo with Harris and praising her leadership qualities. “New, youthful, sharp energy!!!!” she wrote, applauding Biden’s service while rallying behind Harris’s candidacy.
Beyoncé's history of supporting Democratic candidates adds weight to her tacit approval. In 2013, she performed the National Anthem at President Barack Obama's inauguration. In 2016, Beyoncé and her husband Jay-Z headlined a concert for Hillary Clinton, emphasizing the importance of female leadership. “I want my daughter to grow up seeing a woman lead our country and knowing that her possibilities are limitless,” Beyoncé stated during the event.
