Watch: Harris campaigns in battleground Georgia with focus on abortion
Vice President Harris delivered remarks Friday at a campaign event in the swing state of Georgia, with a particular focus on the issue of abortion.
Her remarks were expected to highlight the stories of two women whose deaths she blames on the state’s abortion ban passed by Republicans after the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade in 2022. The deaths were first reported by ProPublica.
With less than two months left until Election Day, recent polling out of the Peach State has shown a close race between Harris and former President Trump. The vice president has also targeted her GOP rival on the issue in light of the reported deaths.
The Hill/Decision Desk HQ's aggregate polling index shows Trump leading Harris in Georgia with 48.4 percent support to her 47.9 percent.
