Melvin Williams, associate professor of media and communications studies, was quoted in a Reuters article that examined Beyonce's recent appearance at Vice President Kamala Harris's Houston, Texas rally and its implications for her star power and political influence. "Beyonce is one of the entertainment industry’s most powerful women at a historic time when (politically and positionally) the most powerful woman in the U.S. is running for U.S. President," said Williams. He said he was uncertain that Beyonce would reach voters who have questions about Harris. "We must acknowledge that celebrities are great political advertisers, but they are not guarantors of political victory for candidates."

Mark Weinstock, clinical associate professor, economics, spoke to the Associated Press on the presidential campaign and the differences between the major candidates’ economic plans. “The biggest differences [between Trump’s and Harris’s plans] are in housing and taxes. Harris would like to offer first time homeowners a $25,000 grant in order to make a down payment on a home. The other main difference between the two candidates is without doubt in terms of taxes. Trump will cut taxes far more than Harris will.”
