As Vice President Kamala Harris nears the end of her race for president of the United States, more and more Hollywood heavyweights are rallying behind her to hopefully push her across the finish line.

On October 25, Beyoncé, alongside Destiny Child’s Kelly Rowland, spoke to an energetic crowd of 30,000 in her native state of Texas. “I’m not here as a celebrity, I’m not here as a politician. I’m here as a mother,” the star said at the campaign rally for Kamala Harris. “A mother who cares deeply about the world my children and all of our children live in, a world where we have the freedom to control our bodies, a world where we’re not divided,” she said Friday night in Houston.
Bey and Rowland’s official endorsements come in addition to those of whom we previously told you about like Kerry Washington, Stevie Wonder, John Legend, Oprah Winfrey, Stephen Curry, Lil Jon, Wendell Pierce, and the Obamas voicing their support.
