WASHINGTON (AP) — For the first time since she ascended to the top of the Democratic ticket, Vice President Kamala Harris is set to give a speech focused squarely on abortion rights. She’ll do so in Georgia on Friday, where news reports have documented women’s deaths in the face of the state’s six-week ban. Harris was the administration’s chief spokesperson on abortion rights when President Joe Biden was running for reelection. Since becoming the nominee, she’s broadened her focus to a wider range of issues. Harris’ campaign is hoping that reproductive rights will be a strong motivator for Democrats in the November election. Republican nominee Donald Trump, meanwhile, continues to take credit for appointing Supreme Court justices who voted to overturn Roe v. Wade.
