Vice President Kamala Harris' campaign kicked off a weekslong 50-stop "reproductive freedom bus tour" across battleground states in West Palm Beach, Florida -- former President Donald Trump's backyard -- on Tuesday.

The campaign said "reproductive rights storytellers" will join campaign surrogates along the route to help emphasize the split screen on the issue between the Harris-Walz campaign and Trump and his running mate, Sen. JD Vance.

Women's reproductive rights are a key voter issue driving suburban women to the polls, and has been a spotlight since the Supreme Court overruled the constitutional right to abortion that had been the law nationwide for almost 50 years.

"Our campaign is hitting the road to meet voters in their communities, underscore the stakes of this election for reproductive freedom, and present them with the Harris-Walz ticket's vision to move our country forward, which stands in stark contrast to Donald Trump's plans to drag us back," Harris-Walz Campaign Manager Julie Chavez Rodriguez wrote in a statement.
