NEW BRITAIN, Conn. — With 34 days before the election, Vice President Kamala Harris traveled to New Britain on Wednesday to show her support for the most controversial issue in the divisive campaign — abortion rights.
Harris appeared on stage for a roundtable discussion in a small theater with U.S. Rep. Jahana Hayes, a Democrat who is locked in a tight battle with Republican George Logan in the 5th Congressional District. Politico now rates the race as a “toss up’' in Connecticut’s closest Congressional contest of the campaign season.
“This is not a political event, but it is a fact that in 34 days there is a midterm coming up,’' Harris told the crowd. “The facts must be spoken.’'
