Cast of 'Scandal' reunites in Michigan to rally Harris supporters around reproductive rights

The cast of the political thriller “Scandal” reunited on a weekend stop in Michigan during a cross country bus tour urging volunteers for Kamala Harris’ campaign to ensure reproductive freedom is protected by electing the vice president to the White House in November.

Castmates Kerry Washington, Tony Goldwyn and others pressed the Harris-Walz campaign points Sunday that another Donald Trump presidency would only continue the erosion of women’s rights to abortion and other autonomy over their own bodies.

Goldwyn, who played the fictional President Fitzgerald Grant in “Scandal,” reminded the crowd that Trump, the Republican nominee, appointed three of the U.S. Supreme Court justices who voted to overturn the constitutional right to an abortion. If Republicans win the presidency, he said, the nation’s top court could lean even harder to the right.

“In a lot of ways, the nightmare that we all feared when Donald Trump was elected in 2016, it’s come true,” Goldwyn said. “And with the possibility of an additional two or possibly three Supreme Court seats coming up in the next four years, we are talking about the threat of cementing MAGA conservatism in America for a generation.”
