新湖畔网 （随信APP) | 碧昂斯对决乔·罗根：明星助力美国选举

在获得泰勒·斯威夫特的支持和琳琅满目的艺术家们的助阵之后，碧昂丝宣布支持卡玛拉·哈里斯，这是在最近一场竞选活动中她表现出色的表现。

美国选举在周五暂时离开摇摆州巡回，转而前往德克萨斯州，卡玛拉·哈里斯将与流行巨星碧昂丝一同举行集会，而唐纳德·特朗普则将与全球最大的播客主持人坐下来进行对话。

坚定支持共和党的德克萨斯州在11月5日临近之际进行了一次不寻常的停留，特别是对于哈里斯而言，她可能正在努力振兴自己在设置决定选票的摇摆州的势头。

但是民主党团队在赌注上，他们的明星阵容将突出共和党对堕胎权的限制，这是哈里斯反对特朗普的关键议程之一，而且这场集会还将包括乡村音乐传奇威利·尼尔森。

碧昂丝对哈里斯的支持，并获得泰勒·斯威夫特的背书，以及包括艺人们在内的众多竞选活动出现，包括丽宝、史蒂维·旺德、布鲁斯·斯普林斯廷、阿姆、梅根·西·史塔利恩和亚瑟。

这位“疯狂爱你”的歌手将在休斯敦和哈里斯一同亮相，而特朗普将在奥斯汀录制一次与乔·罗根的采访，后者是全球收听率最高的播客主持人。

11月的总统选举将是2022年最高法院裁定推翻全国堕胎保护之后举行的第一次。

在竞选中，哈里斯一再将特朗普与被拒绝重要生殖保健的女性的令人震惊的故事联系起来，特朗普在重塑法院后声称为堕胎裁决而取得了荣誉。

德克萨斯现在禁止除罕见情况外的所有堕胎。

– 病毒性时刻 –

周五的表演将标志着碧昂丝与哈里斯的首次合作，尽管这位获得32次格莱美奖的歌手曾为巴拉克·奥巴马和希拉里·克林顿演出。

哈里斯获得了使用这位歌手的成名曲“自由”的许可，并且这首歌已成为她竞选白宫的最佳配乐。

选举候选人都寻求通过规避传统媒体，转而选择播客和YouTube节目来扩大支持，这些节目受到未决定投票行为的年轻选民的青睐，这些选民可能在激烈的选举中起到至关重要的作用。

特朗普将吸引罗根的庞大观众群，寻求可以利用他平易近人吸引力的病毒性时刻，就像他最近在宾夕法尼亚州麦当劳的合影一样。

“乔·罗根经历”是2023年流媒体巨头Spotify上最受关注的播客，连续第四年蝉联榜首。它在YouTube上有1750万订阅者，最受欢迎的一集观看次数达到6100万次。

共和党全国代表大会的最后一晚 — 特朗普的主题演讲 — 在14个网络电视台播出，但观众数量没有接近那个数字，只有2500万观众。

特朗普的竞选团队表示，他还将在奥斯汀对新闻发表讲话，讨论边境安全和移民犯罪，然后前往密切关注的密歇根州举行集会。

The US election takes a detour from the swing state circuit to decamp to Texas on Friday as Kamala Harris rallies with pop superstar Beyonce and Donald Trump sits down with the world’s biggest podcaster.

Solidly Republican Texas makes an unorthodox stop just days before November 5, especially for Harris who could be working to revive her momentum in the battleground states set to decide the vote.

But the Democratic team is gambling that its star-studded show — also featuring country legend Willie Nelson — will highlight Republican restrictions on abortion, a key part of Harris’s platform against Trump.

Beyonce’s backing for Harris comes on top of an endorsement from Taylor Swift and campaign appearances from artists including Lizzo, Stevie Wonder, Bruce Springsteen, Eminem and Usher.

The “Crazy in Love” singer will appear alongside Harris in Houston, while Trump will be in Austin, taping an interview with Joe Rogan, who hosts the most listened-to podcast globally.

November’s presidential election will be the first held after a 2022 Supreme Court ruling overturned nationwide protection of abortion.

In her campaign, Harris has repeatedly linked Trump — who took credit for the abortion ruling after reshaping the court — to shocking stories of women who have been denied vital reproductive health care.

Texas now prohibits all abortions except in rare cases.

– Viral moments –

Friday’s show will mark Beyonce’s first appearance with Harris, although the 32-time Grammy Award-winner has performed for Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton.

Harris got permission to use the singer’s anthem “Freedom” and it has been the leading soundtrack of her push for the White House.

Both election candidates have sought to broaden their support by sidestepping traditional media in favor of podcasts and YouTube shows consumed by uncommitted young voters who could make all the difference in a tight vote.

Trump will woo Rogan’s massive audience, seeking viral moments that tap into his everyman appeal similar to his recent photo-op at a Pennsylvania McDonald’s.

“The Joe Rogan Experience” was the world’s most listened-to podcast on streaming giant Spotify in 2023, for the fourth year running. It has 17.5 million subscribers on YouTube, and the most popular episode has been viewed 61 million times.

The final night of the Republican National Convention — featuring Trump’s keynote speech — was televised by 14 networks and yet didn’t get close to half that figure, notching 25 million viewers.

Trump’s campaign said he would also deliver remarks to the press in Austin on border security and migrant crime before heading to a rally back in the swing states, in closely watched Michigan.
