About 30,000 people flocked to Houston to see Beyonce endorse a Democratic presidential candidate who could make history as the first woman to occupy the Oval Office.
Ten hours before Beyonce was due to make her first-ever appearance at a campaign rally with Kamala Harris, Dallas residents Brian Peterman and Sharon Stone were sitting on camping chairs near the front of the line, excitedly waiting for the stadium gates to open.
One supporter held a banner that read: “Keep the immigrants, deport the racists.” Another man wore a “childless dog guys for Kamala” T-shirt. Several people fainted in the unrelenting Texas heat, while others danced the day away as a jubilant DJ mashed up R&B and hip-hop classics., as many had hoped, but to urge Americans to head to the polls to help defeat Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump.“I’m not here as a celebrity. I’m not here as a politician.

Trump also spent part of his day in Texas, recording a three-hour interview with podcaster Joe Rogan, whose audience is largely made up of the young male voters Trump’s campaign has been targeting.
