Abortion fight puts Vice President Harris at the center of the 2024 election campaign

WASHINGTON (AP) — Vice President Kamala Harris is embracing her position as the Democrats’ leading champion for abortion rights in this year’s election. Harris visits Wisconsin on Monday (Jan. 22, 2024) for the first in a series of nationwide events focused on abortion, which remains politically potent almost two years since the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade. In Washington, President Joe Biden will convene his reproductive rights task force. The White House in making its case on abortion rights has repeatedly turned to Harris, the first female vice president. Harris will probably be central on abortion in 2024’s election, likely a Biden rematch against Republican ex-President Donald Trump. Harris joins Biden at another campaign event focused on abortion in Virginia on Tuesday.
