‘We choose freedom’: Kamala Harris campaign launches first ad

Optimistic video has Beyoncé’s anthem as a soundtrack and touches on gun violence, health care and abortion

The Harris for President campaign has launched its first official video, less than a week after US President Joe Biden announced he was dropping out of the race and his vice-president Kamala Harris said she was running for the nomination.

The ad caps a week during which Harris also broke funding records and quickly clinched enough delegate support to become the presumptive nominee in an election that is now just over 100 days away.
