Vice President Kamala Harris is set to rally voters in Houston alongside pop icon Beyoncé, highlighting Texas as a critical battleground for abortion rights and the fight for control of the US Senate. The state's Senate race between incumbent Republican Sen. Ted Cruz and Democratic challenger Rep. Colin Allred is seen as a key opportunity for Democrats to gain ground in a largely GOP-favoring election cycle.
With Democrats facing a precarious majority and defending seats in states won by Donald Trump, the Harris campaign is lending its support to boost Allred's candidacy. Allred, a US congressman representing the Dallas area, is expected to join Harris, Beyoncé, and abortion rights advocates on stage in Houston.
