Beyonce Expected to Attend Harris Rally in Houston

Vice President Kamala Harris is scheduled to hold a rally in Houston, Texas, where pop icon Beyoncé is expected to make an appearance. Beyoncé's involvement in politics isn't new; she has previously supported Democratic candidates and causes, notably using her song "Freedom" as a campaign anthem for Harris. Her appearance at this rally could boost voter turnout, especially among demographics that might not typically engage in political events but follow her closely.

The rally serves dual purposes: highlighting key campaign issues like reproductive rights and attempting to mobilize voters in an area with a large potential for Democratic support. It's a strategic move to use cultural icons to draw crowds and media attention.

Side note: Harris County Judge Lina Hidalgo who may have called in a favor, and has helped rally for the Harris Campaign used $7.2 million from the American Rescue Plan to build 31 permanent homes in Midtown at the Bread of Life gymnasium on 2019 Crawford Street, the Houston Chronicle reported The housing units will be named after Houston natives Beyoncé Knowles and Kelly Rowland, county officials said.

The cost breakdown comes to $258,064/person
