Tens of thousands of people showed up to see Vice President Kamala Harris join the singer onstage in Houston on Friday night.
Singer Beyoncé speaks during a campaign rally for Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris in Houston , Texas, on Friday, Oct. 25, 2024.“I’m not here as a celebrity. I’m not here as a politician,” the singer said at the event, which drew 30,000 attendees, according to Harris’ presidential campaign.
Fick attended Friday night’s rally with her friend Rachel Dubuque, a 24-year-old graduate student. The two met through their boyfriends, who weren’t in attendance but are supportive of Fick and Dubuque’s political interests.Harris’ stop in Houston, just days out from the presidential election, was a unique move, considering that candidates often spend their last few days on the campaign trail in swing states. Though Texas typically votes Republican for various offices, Houston has made.
She is hopeful that a majority of Texans will vote for Harris — but if not for Harris, then at least for Democratic Rep. Colin Allred, who is seeking to unseat Republican Sen. Ted Cruz.“It helps that he’s up against Ted Cruz,” added Bhowal’s friend, Sergio, who declined to give his last name.Bhowal said being a Democrat can feel isolating in Texas, but that tens of thousands of Harris supporters showing up in Houston gave her hope.
