Vice President Kamala Harris will hold a Friday rally in Houston intended to highlight the consequences of Texas’ near-total abortion ban.
Colin Allred, who made abortion a key issue in his race against Ted Cruz, will join Friday’s rally in Houston.Democratic presidential nominee Vice President Kamala Harris and former Rep. Liz Cheney, R-Wyo., attend a campaign event Monday, Oct. 21, 2024, in Brookfield, Wis.
Harris’ itinerary this week is heavy on stops in Georgia and swing states in the upper Midwest as she tries to reach undecided voters in areas key to the Nov. 5 election.Texas is a frequent fundraising stop for candidates, but it is unusual – at least in recent cycles – to see big presidential campaign rallies in the state shortly before Election Day.
Allred said Texas women “deserve to have their voices heard” and he’s glad they will have a platform to tell their stories at the rally.The Cruz campaign has sought to tie the Senate race to the presidential contest and jumped on news of the rally, repeating a statement the senator has used several times, including inThe Cruz campaign hosted a Monday night tele-rally with Trump intended to highlight the former president’s support for Cruz and cast Allred as a proxy for Harris.
Cruz said during the rally that Allred has backed Harris policies that are soft on illegal immigration and harmful to the state’s oil and gas industry.During Friday’s rally, Harris is expected to cast Texas as ground zero in the fight over abortion as she spotlights stories of Texas women with pregnancy complications who were denied care.
Democrats say Trump is responsible for tight abortion restrictions or outright bans in many states because he nominated three conservative Supreme Court justices who provided the margin for overturning Roe vs. Wade.Zurawski and her husband spoke about how complications rendered her pregnancy nonviable but doctors would not perform an abortion. Zurawski was hospitalized days later with an infection that nearly killed her and threatened her fertility.
