DNC Unveils Beyoncé-Scored Ad for Harris/Walz, Highlighting Unity and Hope Amid Campaign Trail

The ad, which played to an energized crowd at the United Center, opened with classic American imagery—horses running wild, trains moving through the West, and iconic moments in history. As Beyoncé’s voice soared through the venue, the visuals transitioned to scenes of Black Lives Matter protests, Civil Rights marches, and Paralympic athletes, capturing the spirit of determination and freedom that Harris and Walz hope to bring to their campaign. The ad’s message of hope stood in stark contrast to the darker tones of the recent Republican National Convention, offering a vision of an America united by shared values and a commitment to progress.

As the convention continues through Thursday, August 22, it is expected to highlight a diverse array of celebrity hosts and performers, from Kerry Washington to James Taylor. With Harris poised to become the nation’s first Black and Asian American woman nominated for the presidency, the DNC is showcasing a star-studded event that reflects the campaign’s inclusive and forward-looking message. Unlike her opponent, Donald Trump, who has faced backlash from artists for using their music without permission, Harris received full support from Beyoncé, adding a significant cultural endorsement to her historic run.
