Jul 25, 2024, 12:21 PM

Vice President Kamala Harris has officially announced her candidacy for President of the United States and released her first campaign video titled 'We Choose Freedom.' The video, featuring Beyoncé's song 'Freedom,' one of the singer's biggest hits, emphasizes themes of rights and freedom, and includes references to the freedom to make decisions about one's own body. In the video, Harris addresses the current state of the country, contrasting her vision of freedom with what she describes as a country of chaos, fear, and hate. The campaign video has garnered significant attention and support, including endorsements from prominent figures such as Speaker Nancy Pelosi and House Democratic Whip Katherine Clark. Harris also held her first official campaign event and received an endorsement from the American Federation of Teachers. Former President Donald Trump has responded by attacking Harris, labeling her as 'radical' and a 'new victim to defeat' in his first rally since President Joe Biden dropped out of the race.
