Vice President Kamala Harris criticized Senator JD Vance during a campaign event in Michigan, highlighting their differing views on abortion. Harris pointed out Vance's participation in blocking protections for in vitro fertilization (IVF) and his support for a national abortion ban. Last year, Vance urged Republicans to embrace a federal abortion ban, diverging from former President Trump's stance of leaving the issue to states.
Harris emphasized President Biden's commitment to restoring women's reproductive freedom if reelected in November. She stated that Biden would veto any attempt at a national abortion ban and would sign into law protections for Roe v. Wade if reinstated by Congress.
This event in Michigan marked Harris' fourth visit to the state this year and her seventh since taking office. Harris positioned herself as a key advocate for women's reproductive rights within the Biden administration, contrasting their approach with that of the previous administration.
