Per USA Today:
Vice President Kamala Harris is charting her own course, launching a blistering ad attacking former President Donald Trump, a day after President Joe Biden addressed the nation about his decision to step down from the ticket.
The ad titled “We Choose Freedom,” which aired on her social media channels Thursday and marks a defining moment for her campaign, echoes Harris’ culture warrior stance on key issues like abortion.
“In this election, we each face a question. What kind of country do we want to live in? There are some people who think we should be a country of chaos. Of fear. Of hate,” she says as images of Trump and Ohio Sen. JD Vance appears in the ad. “But us. We choose something different. We choose freedom.”
The ad, featuring Beyoncé’s song “Freedom,” shows various images of Harris’s supporters and everyday Americans of all backgrounds as she discusses what freedom will look like under her administration.

Here’s what The Guardian reported:
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.
Released on Thursday morning, the ad opens with shots of Harris’s smiling face behind a podium, the word Kamala, the word Harris, and the American flag. The soundtrack is the beginning of Beyoncé’s song Freedom, to which Harris entered and exited her first speech to campaign staffers after gaining lightning speed momentum on the road to becoming the presumptive nominee.
The ad is narrated by Harris, whose first words are, “In this election we each face a question. What kind of country do we want to live in?”
She continues: “There are some people who think we should be a country of chaos. Of fear. Of hate,” she says, over shots of Trump and JD Vance. “But us, we choose something different.”
The voiceover pauses for a crowd chanting, “Kamala! Kamala! Kamala!”
