How Kamala Harris Took ‘Freedom’ Back from the GOP

FreedomI can’t moveFreedom, cut me looseSingin’, freedom! Freedom! Where are you?‘Cause I need freedom, tooI break chains all by myselfWon’t let my freedom rot in hell. –Beyonce, “Freedom” To Beyonce’s soundtrack, Vice President Kamala Harris announced her campaign in an ad that used the word “freedom” four times. She framed her messages about the economy, gun violence, and abortion as “the freedom not just to get by, but get ahead:” “the freedom to be safe from gun violence;” and “the freedom to make decisions about your body.” At her Delaware campaign headquarters, she talked about the “sacred freedom to vote.” “Our fight for the future,” she added, “is also a fight for freedom.” [time-brightcove not-tgx=”true”] For half a century, that word “freedom” has been mostly absent from the vocabulary of Democratic campaigns.
