Harris blasts Trump for saying he has 'no regrets' about end of Roe v. Wade

Vice President Harris on Tuesday ripped former President Trump for comments in a new interview in which he said he had no regrets about the Supreme Court overturning Roe v. Wade.
Harris rallied thousands of supporters in Milwaukee, roughly 90 miles up the road from the Democratic National Convention in Chicago, where she seized on comments Trump made to CBS News a day earlier.
"Yesterday, when he was asked if he had any regrets about ending Roe v. Wade, Donald Trump – without even a moment’s hesitation, you would think he would reflect on it for a second – said no. No regrets," Harris said.
"I do believe bad behavior should result in a consequences," she continued. "Well, we will make sure he does face the consequence, and that will be at the ballot box this November."
Trump told CBS News the issue of abortion should be handled by the states and suggested people were "very happy about it."
"No regrets, no. I wouldn’t have regrets. I did something most people felt was undoable," Trump said.
The former president has repeatedly boasted about his role in ending Roe v. Wade, which was overturned in June 2022, and he has argued that states should be left to determine their own abortion laws, either by legislation or ballot measure.
Democrats are campaigning on protecting abortion rights, and Harris has been the administration’s point person on reproductive rights. Harris has pledged to fight to restore the protections of Roe v. Wade across all states.
Harris held a rally at Fiserv Forum in Milwaukee on Tuesday, the same arena where Republicans gathered in July for the party's convention.
She took the stage just after the ceremonial roll call at the Democratic convention concluded, affirming her status as the party's nominee. The roll call streamed live at the arena in Milwaukee as the crowd waited for Harris.
The vice president held a rally on the same night that former President Obama and former first lady Michelle Obama were the keynote speakers in Chicago.
