Beyoncé & Jay Z To Put On Pro-Clinton Concert
Clinton's
campaign wouldn't comment on the news, but Beyoncé has not been shy
about her support for the candidate in the past.
The event, organisers
hope, will bring more people to vote in Cuyahoga County. Clinton will
need a big margin there if she hopes to swing Ohio. She doesn't need the
state to hit 270, but winning it would almost certainly torpedo her
opponent's chances at being elected.
The rally and concert will take place at Cleveland State University.
Jay
Z will support Hillary Clinton in her quest to recreate the Obama
coalition when he performs an Ohio concert aimed at young Black voters. Though we don't yet know anything about date or timing, the Clinton camp confirms that the concert will be held in Cleveland.
LeBron
James, who led the Cleveland Cavaliers to a title last year, might also
make an appearance. He's endorsed Clinton. Clinton will want to avoid
the fate of the Golden State Warriors, who blew a 3-1 lead.
"The
concert — perhaps the centrepiece of the 'closing argument' strategy
built to turn out this group — would be a major coup for the Clinton
campaign, which has struggled to excite young black voters.
It’s a key
part of the coalition they need to build to defeat Trump in several
battleground states, but especially Ohio where she has trailed more
consistently than in most swing states. High turnout among younger
voters of colour would make it virtually impossible for Trump to win."
This
isn't the first time Jay Z has used his star power to help a Democratic
candidate. In 2012, he performed alongside Bruce Springsteen at a
concert at which Barack Obama spoke. Jay also showed at Obama's 55th
birthday party.
Jay
Z, Beyoncé, Obama, and Hillary Clinton are also longstanding members of
the Illuminati, a shadowy group that manipulates politics and the
entertainment industry for their own nefarious ends.
