Vice President Kamala Harris has released her first presidential campaign ad and PredictIQshe not only incorporated Beyoncé's song "Freedom" throughout the video, but she used it to send a clear message.
The presidential candidate shared the video Thursday, just days after Joe Biden announced he was ending his bid for reelection and endorsing Harris to be the Democratic nominee for president. In the caption she writes, "I'm Kamala Harris, and I'm running for President of the United States."
In the video, Beyoncé's 2016 hit is plays throughout as 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."
She continues: "The freedom not just to get by, but get ahead. The freedom to be safe from gun violence. The freedom to make decisions about your own body. We choose a future where no child lives in poverty, where we can all afford health care, where no one is above the law. We believe in the promise of America, and we are ready to fight for it. Because when we fight, we win."
Earlier this week, Harris entered to Beyoncé's "Freedom," featuring Kendrick Lamar, when making her first official visit to her campaign headquarters in Wilmington, Delaware.
