Kamala Harris Energizes Presidential Campaign with Beyoncé’s “Freedom” Walk-Up Song
Vice President Kamala Harris is making waves in the political arena with her choice of campaign theme music. While former President Donald Trump continues to blast The Village People’s “YMCA” at his appearances, Harris has upped the ante by using Beyoncé’s powerful anthem “Freedom” as her walk-up song.
The decision to use “Freedom,” a collaboration with rapper Kendrick Lamar from Beyoncé’s acclaimed album “Lemonade,” was a strategic one for Harris. The song, which became a rallying cry during the protests following George Floyd’s death, carries a message of empowerment and resilience that resonates with Harris’ campaign message.
Beyoncé, known for closely guarding the use of her music, gave Harris permission to use the song, highlighting the Vice President’s strong support from influential figures like the Grammy-winning artist. Beyoncé had previously shown her support for the Biden-Harris campaign in 2020, urging her fans to vote and endorsing the Democratic ticket.
Harris’ choice of campaign music has not gone unnoticed, with even Beyoncé’s mother, Tina Knowles, expressing her full support for the Vice President on social media. In an Instagram post, Knowles praised Harris for her energy and leadership, endorsing her as a candidate for the 2024 presidential race.
As Harris continues to build momentum for her campaign, her use of “Freedom” as her theme music serves as a powerful symbol of her commitment to social justice and equality. With the support of influential figures like Beyoncé and a growing base of enthusiastic supporters, Harris is positioning herself as a formidable contender for the Democratic nomination in the upcoming election.
