Kamala Harris Kicks Off Presidential Bid with Powerful Campaign Ad
Vice President Kamala Harris has officially launched her bid for the presidency with a compelling campaign ad, powered by Beyoncé’s 2016 single “Freedom.” The one-minute video, released on Thursday, July 25, showcases Harris’ vision for a better America, highlighting her commitment to tackling pressing issues such as gun violence, health care, and poverty.
The ad begins with a montage of Black people, members of the LGBTQIA+ community, and other minorities supporting Harris, evoking a sense of triumph and community. Harris then outlines her promises, including addressing gun violence, health issues, and reproductive rights. She also takes a jab at her opposition, former President Donald Trump, referencing his legal troubles, including becoming the first former president to be arrested in the Georgia election subversion case.
Additional footage is taken from Harris’ first rally as a presidential candidate in Milwaukee on Tuesday, July 23. In the video, Harris declares, “In this election, we each face a question: What kind of country do we want to live in? There are some people who think we should be a country of chaos, of fear, of hate. But us? We choose something different. We choose freedom.”
The ad concludes with a snippet from “Freedom,” featuring Beyoncé passionately calling for action, singing, “I’ma keep running ’cause a winner don’t quit on themselves.” The video ends with a call to action, urging viewers to watch the video above.
Harris’ campaign ad is a powerful statement of her vision for America, emphasizing the importance of freedom, equality, and justice for all. As she begins her presidential bid, Harris is sending a clear message: she is ready to fight for a better future, and she invites Americans to join her on this journey.
