Vice President Kamala Harris is breaking the mold by campaigning in Texas, a traditionally Republican stronghold. While most candidates focus on swing states, Harris aims to highlight national issues by visiting non-swing states. Her stop in Houston will center on abortion rights, a contentious issue in Texas with restrictive laws. The campaign believes that shedding light on the repercussions of these bans will resonate with voters in swing states.
In a shift from conventional campaigning, both Harris and Donald Trump are making strategic visits to states that could impact future elections. Texas, a state that last voted Democrat in 1976, has shown increasing support for Democratic candidates over the years. Harris’s event will involve individuals affected by the state’s strict abortion regulations, emphasizing the urgency of protecting reproductive rights nationally.
The choice to rally in Texas coincides with new research showing a rise in infant mortality rates following the Supreme Court’s abortion decision. This evidence of a ripple effect beyond state borders underscores the importance of highlighting how abortion bans impact communities nationwide.
