Eva Longoria Promotes Spanish Campaign Slogan for Harris in Texas

Eva Longoria, the renowned "Desperate Housewives" star and activist, made a notable appearance at the Democratic National Convention (DNC) this week, representing her home state of Texas. During her speech, Longoria emphasized the significance of Kamala Harris’ achievements, declaring, “Kamala Harris’ success is our success.” She introduced a modified version of Harris’ campaign slogan for the upcoming 2024 election, rallying the audience to support the vice president. Reflecting on her long-standing relationship with Harris, which spans over a decade, Longoria urged attendees to unite and support one another. She invoked a popular saying from her community, “Si, se puede!” translating to “Yes, we can,” a phrase famously associated with Barack Obama’s 2008 campaign. Longoria adapted this slogan to affirm Harris’ capabilities, stating, “Yes, she can,” and encouraging the crowd to respond with “She se puede” to questions about Harris’ readiness and qualifications for leadership. Longoria’s endorsement comes on the heels of President Joe Biden’s recent withdrawal from the 2024 race, a decision she publicly supported. In a social media post, she expressed gratitude for Biden’s service and praised his choice to allow a new nominee to emerge, highlighting the importance of democracy and leadership transition. Longoria reaffirmed her commitment to Harris, stating her belief in the collective effort needed to secure victory in the upcoming election.
