The Kamala Harris campaign announced Friday that it will launch its national “Fighting for Reproductive Freedom” bus tour next Tuesday in Palm Beach, home to Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump.
Minnesota Democratic U.S. Sen. Amy Klobuchar, Harris-Walz campaign manager Julie Chavez Rodriguez, Republican television personality Ana Navarro, and Anya Cook, a South Florida woman who spoke at the Democratic National Convention last week about how she almost died because of Florida’s abortion laws, will appear at the event.
Abortion rights have consistently been the best political issue for Democrats since the U.S. Supreme Court overturned a woman’s federal right to an abortion two years ago.
In Florida, Democrats are leaning into the campaign for Amendment 4, the proposed state constitutional amendment that would enshrine abortion rights through the first trimester and overturn the six-week abortion ban that took effect in May.
The bus tour will make at least 50 stops in “key states,” according to a press release issued by the Harris-Walz campaign. Among those who will later join in the tour are vice-presidential nominee Tim Walz and Harris’ husband, Doug Emhoff.
The announcement came one day after Trump made a confusing statement regarding whether he will vote for Amendment 4 this fall.
After repeating that he thinks the six-week law is “too short,” he said that “I am going to be voting that we need more than six weeks,” which is not the question on the ballot in the fall.
That confusion led the Trump campaign to release a statement later on Thursday affirming that the former president “has not yet said how he will vote on the ballot initiative,” according to Karoline Leavitt, the national Trump spokesperson.
