Democrats rally support for Kamala Harris, reproductive freedom in Jacksonville

National and state Democratic leaders rallied the faithful on Jacksonville’s Eastside Wednesday, making the emphatic case that abortion is on the ballot in more ways than one.

Jaime Harrison, chair of the Democratic National Committee, said that “something different is in the air” in Florida, “and it’s not just the stench of Donald Trump.“

He hit the abortion issue, saying Trump and his “extreme MAGA allies” like Rick Scott and Ron DeSantis want a total abortion ban to “silence our daughters and our mothers” and “turn back the clock.”

The “MVP” or “Madame Vice President” Kamala Harris is the only alternative, the South Carolina Democrat claimed.

Debbie Wasserman-Schultz, a former DNC chair from South Florida, made similar points, telling the media “don’t sleep on Florida” as the state is “going to surprise a lot of people” whether the Republicans don’t spend money or “panic” and invest resources.

Especially after both DeSantis and Trump basically treated the state as their private septic tank, assuming none in the state were alert enough to notice their defecation.
