With Kamal At The Healm, Abortion Rights Again Take Center Stage.
“The increasing likelihood that Vice President Harris, the White House’s chief defender of abortion rights, will emerge at the top of the Democratic ticket has buoyed party leaders counting on abortion to invigorate voters in November.
While President Biden has long struggled to talk about abortion — often declining to say the word and fumbling his answer to a question on abortion during his debate against Donald Trump — Harris has spoken forcefully on the issue to draw contrasts with Republicans. She embarked on a “reproductive freedoms tour” of key battleground states this year to decry abortion bans and has hosted frequent meetings with Democratic state legislators, attorneys general, abortion providers and advocates to strategize on how to fight the bans”
Kamala Harris’ elevation to the presumptive nominee for the Democratic ticket will likely change many things about the 2024 race. Abortion has been front and in voters’ minds since ‘Roe’ was overturned and many are now wondering how much Kamala will emphasize reproductive rights on the campaign trail. A lot according to most experts and this could potentially resonate with many swing state voters who are still undecided who to vote for in November.
