Trump, Harris bring presidential campaigns to Texas Friday
With the presidential campaign down to the final stretch, both Republican Donald Trump and Democrat Kamala Harris are in Texas in one of the final pushes for votes.
Kamala Harris in Houston
Harris' campaign rally at Houston’s Shell Energy Stadium featured a star-studded lineup, like Beyonce Knowles, Kelly Rowland, Willie Nelson, Jessica Alba and more.
The Harriz-Walz campaign told FOX News about 30,000 people were in attendance.
Texas has been a consistently Republican state in presidential elections.
The last Democratic presidential candidate to win in Texas was Jimmy Carter in 1976, but the Harris campaign is looking to highlight an issue it believes will help them throughout the country.
The rally focused on access to abortion rights and the Texas women who have suffered from the state's restrictive abortion ban.
Dallas Congressman Colin Allred joined Harris for the event.
Beyoncé was joined by Kelly Rowland, her former Destiny’s Child bandmate, as the two endorsed and introduced Harris to the crowd.
Harris' presidential campaign has used the superstar's 2016 song "Freedom" as its anthem.
While in Texas, Harris also sat down for a podcast with Brené Brown.
Donald Trump in Austin
Donald Trump spoke in Texas' capital city on Friday afternoon.
Trump spoke about the border and other issues.
The mother of Jocelyn Nungaray, a 12-year-old Houston girl allegedly killed by two men accused of entering the country illegally spoke.
Nungaray says Harris had not reached out to her about her daughter's death until recently.
"I think it's very sad that she can't even just give me an open apology, sincere apology," Alexis Nungaray said. "She's attempted to apologize to me just days before this election and I find it very inconvenient and convenient for her."
Trump also showed his support for Ted Cruz in his Senate race.
The border has been a key issue in both the Trump and Cruz campaigns.
Recent polling shows Cruz with a small lead over his Democratic challenger, Dallas Congressman Colin Allred.
Ted Cruz leads Colin Allred by 1 percentage point, new poll shows
A new poll from Emerson College Polling shows Cruz's lead now sits at 1.5%. A poll from the same group showed Cruz with a 4-point lead in September.
After the news conference, Trump will record a podcast interview with Joe Rogan in Austin.
The Joe Rogan Experience is Spotify's most popular podcast.
The Harris campaign said she's skipping an interview with Rogan due to her schedule.
