Kamala Harris’ campaign for president just got a big boost from Beyoncé — and one of the singer’s biggest hits!
Kamala made her first official visit to her campaign headquarters in Wilmington, Delaware, on Monday night, when she appeared under the spotlight to the tune of Beyoncé’s popular song “Freedom.”
A Harris confidant told CNN that her team received prior authorization from Beyoncé’s representatives to play the song.
This is a big deal because Beyoncé is super protective of her music and has strict rules about giving anyone permission to use her catalog.
But Kamala passed Bey’s test. CNN reports that within hours of Harris’ team’s request, Beyoncé gave them permission to perform “Freedom.”
It seems like Beyoncé is fully behind Kamala, even though she hasn’t come out to support Harris, but it’s probably only a matter of time. Beyoncé’s mother, Tina Knowles, has already offered her support to Kamala.
While Kamala has yet to be anointed as the Democratic presidential nominee, she is the front-runner at this point, with plenty of support from donors and her party’s leadership. It appears she already has enough delegate support to cross the finish line.
As you know, Kamala replaced President Biden at the top of the ticket after Joe dropped out due to mounting pressure from his fellow Democrats.
Joe will address the nation later this week about his decision to drop out of the race for the White House.
