Vice President Harris To Address Nation On National Mall

Vice President Kamala Harris speaks at a campaign rally

Vice President Kamala Harris is set to deliver a significant address on the National Mall, with the White House as her backdrop. This location holds particular significance as it is the same spot where former President Donald Trump spoke on January 6, 2021. Harris believes that this setting will visually reinforce her closing argument to voters as Election Day approaches.

When questioned about the timing and choice of location for her speech, Harris emphasized the importance of showcasing who will be occupying that space on January 20th. She aims to draw attention to the future leadership that voters will be deciding on in the upcoming election.

During a recent interview, Harris reiterated her stance against Trump, highlighting that her top priority as president would be to reinstate a federal right to abortion. She expressed her commitment to passing national legislation that would restore abortion rights to the standard set by Roe v. Wade.

While Harris affirmed her support for reinstating Roe v. Wade through congressional action, she did not specify the exact restrictions she would endorse as part of this legislation. When questioned about potential limitations post-fetal viability, Harris reiterated her focus on restoring the fundamental right of women to make decisions about their own bodies.

Despite the allowance for restrictions after fetal viability under Roe v. Wade, Harris emphasized her goal of enshrining the ruling into federal law. She maintained her position on prioritizing women's reproductive rights and ensuring access to safe and legal abortion procedures.
