Beyoncé at Democratic convention

During the Democratic National Convention (DNC) in Chicago, former President Donald Trump held a campaign event in Michigan where he criticized Vice President Kamala Harris, labeling her the 'most radical left person ever thought of for a high office.' Meanwhile, the DNC featured a prominent campaign ad for Harris that incorporated Beyoncé's song 'Freedom,' which has become a symbol of her campaign, reflecting themes of unity and resilience. The convention showcased musical performances, including those by Mickey Guyton and Jason Isbell, enhancing its festive atmosphere. With Beyoncé's endorsement and the song's use throughout Harris's campaign, the DNC is positioned as a stark contrast to the Republican National Convention. The DNC aims to formally nominate Harris as the presidential candidate, marking a historic moment as she becomes the first Black and Asian American woman to lead a major party's ticket. The convention continues to emphasize the role of music in shaping political narratives and connecting with voters.
