As Trump ramps up for RNC, Kamala Harris focuses on reproductive rights
Vice President Kamala Harris will work to court Republican women voters, focusing on abortion and national security in Biden campaign events this week.
Vice President Kamala Harris will take a lead role in the Biden campaign’s push to draw attention to GOP divisions during the Republican National Convention, including working to court female voters with a focus on national security and reproductive rights.
On Wednesday, the day newly minted GOP vice presidential candidate JD Vance will address GOP delegates in Milwaukee, Harris will hold a moderated conversation with Republican women in Michigan in what the campaign calls a direct appeal to Republican and independent female voters.
She will participate in a moderated conversation with Olivia Troye, a former Trump administration national security staffer, and Amanda Stratton, a former registered Republican who the campaign says will share her personal reproductive health story.
On Thursday, Harris will make her seventh trip this year to North Carolina, a state Trump narrowly carried in 2020, for a campaign rally in Fayetteville.
The Biden campaign has said it believes there is an opening for the Democratic ticket to win over Republican women, especially those who voted for former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley in GOP primaries even after she dropped out of the race. Last week, Haley, who was the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations in the Trump administration, announced she was releasing her delegates and urging them to back Trump, and she was invited to address the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee.
