Clinton Tries To Tap Beyoncé’s BeyHive In Search For Votes

After raucous performances from Beyoncé and her husband, rapper Jay Z, Hillary Clinton had one simple message for the packed, cheering crowd at Cleveland’s Wolstein Center: “Help us win Ohio.”

Clinton’s campaign is turning to a series of free concerts to appeal to young and minority voters not necessarily motivated to vote for her. Beyoncé and Jay Z offered their own testimonials to the woman who, if elected, would be the country’s first female president and follow its first black president.

Beyoncé noted that less than a century ago, women did not have the right to vote.

“Look how far we’ve come from having no voice to being on the brink of history – again,” Beyoncé said. “But we have to vote.”
