Kamala Harris To Campaign In Texas, Highlight State's Abortion Ban
HuffPost
Harris will speak at an event alongside Texas women who have had to navigate the state’s abortion ban.
Vice President Kamala Harris will visit Texas on Friday for an attention-grabbing campaign event highlighting reproductive freedom in the final weeks of the 2024 presidential campaign.
Texas is not a swing state, but it enacted one of the country’s strictest abortion bans after Supreme Court justices nominated by Donald Trump overturned Roe v. Wade in 2022, ending the federal right to abortion.
The Democratic presidential nominee will speak at an event alongside Texas women who have had to navigate the state’s abortion ban, according to a senior Harris campaign official. Rep. Colin Allred (D), who is within striking distance of Sen. Ted Cruz (R) in polls of the Texas Senate race, will join Harris as well.
The Texas trip comes as Trump, GOP nominee, also campaigns in noncompetitive states, such as New York and California, and engages in high-profile stunts, like working the fryer at a Pennsylvania McDonald’s.
