Vice President Kamala Harris released her first official campaign visuals, July 25, using none other than Beyonce’s Freedom as the score to the rousing clip.

According to a CNN source, Vice President Harris got “approval from Beyoncé’s representatives to use the song throughout her presidential campaign.”

Freedom, featuring Kendrick Lamar, was a powerful anthem on Beyoncé’s 2020 magnum opus Lemonade. VP Harris also walked out to the statement-making track when she visited her HQ for the first time. Freedom has seen a 1,300 percent jump in streams, RollingStone reports.

“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,” Harris says narrating the cinematic clip.

While Beyoncé hasn’t officially come out and endorsed VP Harris, her mother Tina Knowles was one of the first celebrities to lend her support to the presidential nominee.

VP Harris called out GOP nominee Donald Trump for “backpedaling.” During a news segment, VP Harris said, “I have agreed to the previously agreed upon Sept. 10 debate. He agreed to that previously, now, here he is backpedaling, and I’m ready, and I think the voters deserve to see the split screen that exists in this race on a debate stage, and so I’m ready. Let’s go.”

Trump claims he wants to debate Harris but didn’t take kindly to the idea of it being on ABC. “I have at least equal say, and I don’t like the idea of ABC,” Trump told reporters on a press call, The Hill reported. “I would be willing to do more than one debate, actually.”

He added, “I agreed to a debate with Joe Biden. But I want to debate her,” he said. “They have the same policies. I think debating is important for a presidential race.”
