PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Beyoncé is expected to appear Friday in her hometown of Houston at a rally for Vice President Kamala Harris, according to three people familiar with the matter.

Why Black people should be concerned if Trump is a ‘fascist’ as Harris and others claim

During her CNN town hall Wednesday night in Pennsylvania in a room of undecided voters, Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris went as far as to call her Republican opponent, Donald Trump, a “fascist.” When asked if the vice president agreed with Trump’s former chief of staff John Kelly, a retired Marine Corps general, and Trump’s former Joint Chiefs of Staff chairman, retired Gen. Mark A. Milley, that Trump is a fascist, Harris said emphatically, “I do.”  Later in the 75-minute town hall, Harris said […]

Former President Barack Obama is bringing his star power to the Harris-Walz campaign in the final days before Americans cast their votes for the 47th president of the United States.  Many Democrats see Obama, the 44th president and America’s first Black commander-in-chief, as an effective and, perhaps, necessary surrogate for mobilizing the broad and diverse coalition of voters he garnered in both the 2008 and 2012 presidential elections. He is especially deployed this election cycle to talk directly to Black […]

With so much media speculation about whether or not Black male voters will support Kamala Harris’ run for president, it’s easy for the voices of Black men who are championing her to get drowned out in the debate. A whopping 70% of Black men say they will support Harris compared to 20% of Black men who said they would vote for Trump in a New York Times/Siena College national poll. Perhaps a “silent majority” of their own, Black men who support […]
