Beyonce will perform at Houston rally for Harris: NPR

A key part of the soundtrack to Vice President Harris' race for the Oval Office was Beyoncé's anthem “Freedom.”

But on Friday, Queen Bey herself is scheduled to appear on the campaign trail, appearing at a Harris rally in Houston, according to a source familiar with the plan who spoke on condition of anonymity ahead of the official announcement.

Harris is leaving the swing state circuit for the Houston event. While Texas is a solid red state in the presidential race, Harris' campaign wants to highlight the state's abortion restrictions in the final week of the campaign.

Harris has tried to blame her Republican opponent for the abortion bans made possible by the Supreme Court's decision to overturn them Roe v. Wade — because former President Donald Trump appointed a trio of conservative justices to the court.

In Texas, Democratic Senate candidate Colin Allred has made abortion restrictions the centerpiece of his bid to unseat Republican Sen. Ted Cruz.

Houston is Beyoncé's hometown. Other artists who have recently endorsed Harris include Lizzo, Bruce Springsteen, Stevie Wonder, Megan Thee Stallion and Usher.

Trump will also be in Texas on Friday – in Austin to record an interview with podcaster Joe Rogan.
