CNN —Vice President Kamala Harris will give a speech on reproductive freedom in Texas on Friday, according to a senior Harris campaign official.
And Texas was chosen as the location for the rally, campaign officials said, because it’s the epicenter of abortion bans.
Before her ascension to the top of the Democratic ticket, Harris was the go-to voice on abortion rights for the then-Biden campaign.
The trigger law passed in 2021 took effect after the Supreme Court overturned federal abortion rights in June 2022.
While in Houston, Harris will join Democratic Senate nominee Rep. Colin Allred, who seeks to oust incumbent GOP Sen. Ted Cruz, for a get-out-the-vote effort.
