Eva Longoria, the acclaimed actress and activist, recently infused a fresh spirit into a classic campaign slogan in support of Vice President Kamala Harris. Speaking at the Democratic National Convention (DNC) earlier this week, Longoria demonstrated her unwavering support for Harris as she delivered a powerful new version of a slogan famously used in Barack Obama’s 2008 campaign.
Longoria, who hails from Texas and participated in her home state’s roll call at the DNC, emphasized the importance of unity and collective action. Reflecting on her decade-long acquaintance with Harris, Longoria rallied convention-goers with a renewed slogan: “She se puede,” inspired by the well-known “Si, se puede!” which translates to “Yes, we can!”
In her passionate address, Longoria urged the audience to affirm Harris’ capabilities and leadership. “When someone asks you, ‘Is she ready to lead this country forward?’ We’re gonna say, ‘She se puede!’” Longoria declared. “When somebody says, ‘Is she qualified for the job?’ We’re gonna say, ‘She se puede!’ When somebody asks, ‘Is she going to be the first female president of the United States?’ We’re gonna say, ‘She se puede!’”

Longoria’s endorsement comes on the heels of President Joe Biden’s decision to step away from the 2024 presidential race. Expressing gratitude for Biden’s service, Longoria shared her belief in Harris’s potential and the collective effort needed to secure a victory. “Thankful for President @JoeBiden’s years of service and commend his brave decision to pass the torch to a new nominee, in the name of democracy and selfless leadership,” Longoria stated on social media. “I believe in @KamalaHarris and believe in our collective effort to organize and win this!”
This energized support from Longoria highlights the growing enthusiasm and commitment behind Kamala Harris’s campaign as she gears up for a pivotal election year.
