Happening Now: Harris campaigns in battleground Georgia with focus on abortion

Vice President Harris is slated to deliver remarks Friday at a campaign event in the key swing state of Georgia, with a particular focus on the issue of abortion.

Her remarks will likely highlight the stories of two women whose deaths she blames on the state’s abortion ban passed by Republicans after the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade in 2022. The deaths were first reported by ProPublica.

With less than two months left until Election Day, recent polling out of the Peach State has shown a close race between Harris and former President Trump. The vice president has also targeted her GOP rival on the issue in light of the reported deaths.

The Hill/Decision Desk HQ’s aggregate polling index shows Trump leading Harris in Georgia with 48.4 percent support to her 47.9 percent.

The event is scheduled to begin at 3:20 p.m. EDT.

When I’m writing this, there are only 26 comments, and every single one of them is…well, they’re not in support of her. I’m just sayin’ that says something about the polls we are seeing, doesn’t it?!

Abortion needs to be controlled by the women who is pregnant.

Abortion needs to be controlled by each individual state. That's what Trump will do.

It’s quite funny that she’s campaigning like she hasn’t been in office for the last 3 1/2 years.🤡

You have every right to make any decision about your own body, but let me shed the light of dawn on your darkened heart. That child inside your body is not your body.. It is the body of your child just because it hasn't been born yet doesn't mean it's part of your body. It is another person and it has rights over its own body just like you have rights over your body. It is relying on you. It's mother to provide it the security it deserves
