Vice President Harriss campaign is launching a bus tour in Palm Beach, Fla., with its surrogates to promote access to reproductive rights.
The Fighting for Reproductive Freedom bus tour is set to start on Tuesday in former President Trumps hometown. Surrogates from second gentleman Doug Emhoff, the first lady of Minnesota Gwen Walz, Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.), and Harris campaign manager Julie Chavez Rodriguez, among others, will be on the tour.
The tour will make at least 50 stops in red, blue and battleground states in the next couple of months, the campaign announced. Surrogates will focus on talking to voters about Harris and Minnesota Gov. Tim Walzs (D) plans to restore the protections of Roe v. Wade, which was overturned by the Supreme Court in 2022.
The tour will also focus on holding former President Trump directly accountable for the devastating impacts of overturning Roe v. Wade, including threatening access to IVF, according to the campaign, and outline the difference between Trumps stance on abortion and Harriss stance.

(137,637 posts)The Harris-Walz campaign did not specify which cities or states would be included in the route but did say there would be at least 50 stops in blue and red communities in support of reproductive rights and cutting across party lines.
But no "specifics" yet. Will be on the lookout for it though!
I know Harris did her own "Freedoms" tour (including "reproductive rights" ) at colleges and other locations last fall - Vice President Harris Launches Nationwide Fight for Our Freedoms College Tour to Mobilize Students and Young People in the Fight for Their Rights
