Following a series of monumental Supreme Court rulings, Vice President Kamala Harris says fundamental issues are at stake.
The court handed down three sweeping decisions in two days, upending race-based college admissions, student loan forgiveness and LGBTQ+ protections. The cases were followed with high anticipation that the court, which has a conservative majority, could overturn decades of precedent.
"There's so much at stake," Harris said in an interview with NPR's Michel Martin on Friday, hours after the court wrapped its final day of opinions for the term. The vice president spoke to NPR after speaking at a moderated discussion on maternal health and reproductive rights at the Essence Festival in New Orleans.
