Earlier this month, President Biden announced he was dropping out of the race, and he endorsed his vice president. Shortly after the long-time Democrat made the decision, Kamala kicked off her campaign by hitting the road and releasing an ad that focused on the meaning of freedom \u2014 while synced to <a href=\"https:\/\/hollywoodlife.com\/celeb\/beyonce\/\" data-analytics-trigger=\"article-body-link\"><strong>Beyonc\u00e9<\/strong><\/a>\u2018s song \u201cFreedom.\u201d<\/p>\n<p id=\"content-paragraph-8\">Within the first 24 hours of her campaign, Kamala raised more than $80 million in donations.
