Vice President Kamala Harris expressed her support for potentially eliminating the filibuster to protect abortion rights during a town hall event on Wednesday. When asked about the possibility of Congress failing to pass legislation to safeguard abortion rights, Harris indicated that reconsidering the filibuster might be necessary.
Harris highlighted the context leading up to this discussion by referencing former President Donald Trump's appointment of three Supreme Court justices who were seen as potential threats to Roe v. Wade, the landmark abortion rights decision. She noted that these justices ultimately aligned with Trump's intentions to undermine the protections established by Roe v. Wade.
