HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) — The Shell Energy Stadium can accommodate up to 28,000 people and we expect that number for Friday’s rally.

People line up before dawn for a chance to get a spot in the stadium for an event featuring Vice President Kamala Harris, Beyonce, her mother Tina and Willie Nelson.

Also on stage tonight are Texans who say the state’s restrictive abortion law has negatively impacted their lives. And that issue, women’s reproductive rights, is why Harris is here tonight instead of one of the seven swing states.

Vice President Harris arrived in Houston at night.

Former President Donald Trump is also campaigning in Texas on Friday. He has visits planned in Austin.

It’s not unusual for presidential candidates to stop in Texas, but it’s rare for both candidates to appear so close to Election Day.

Texas is not considered a battleground state, which makes these visits particularly interesting.

Normally you see these kinds of last-minute campaigns in swing states like Pennsylvania or Arizona.

Harris will be in Houston on Friday, but her campaign has not publicly announced when or where the rally will be held. Supporters who registered for tickets received an email informing them that the rally would be held at Houston Dynamo’s Shell Energy Stadium. The doors open at 3:00 PM

Houstonians should be prepared for road closures and traffic in downtown Houston. Security is expected to be on high alert, so you may notice an increased police presence.

Harris will be joined by Democratic Senate candidate Collin Allred.

According to local reports, Trump will campaign in Austin with Allred’s opponent, Senator Ted Cruz.

Trump will also be present for an interview on the popular podcast “The Joe Rogan Experience.”

As with previous last-minute presidential campaigns in Texas, George W. Bush visited Dallas the night before the 2004 election and Bill Clinton visited the Lone Star State just six days before the 1992 election.

Election Day 2024 is on November 5. Early voting is already underway in Texas and ends on November 1.
