President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris are set to kick off their joint campaign efforts for 2024 with a focus on reproductive rights. 

The duo, accompanied by First Lady Jill Biden and Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff, will address the public at an event in northern Virginia on Tuesday, strategically timed to coincide with the New Hampshire primaries.

The campaign official stated that the event will specifically concentrate on the critical issue of reproductive rights, coming just a day after the anniversary of the landmark 1973 Roe v. Wade decision. This decision had long protected the federal constitutional right to abortion until it was overturned by the Supreme Court in 2022.

Abortion rights have been a central theme for the Biden campaign, believing that the issue will play a pivotal role in the upcoming election. Recent years have seen the impact of this issue in various elections, with the 2022 midterms signaling potential shifts in the political landscape following the Supreme Court’s decision.

Vice President Harris, in particular, has emerged as a leading advocate for reproductive rights within the administration. She is poised to launch a reproductive rights tour in Wisconsin on Monday, aiming to shed light on the personal stories of American women affected by the 

Supreme Court’s decision.

President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris are set to kick off their joint campaign efforts for 2024 with a focus on reproductive rights.

Harris has been vocal in her commitment to safeguarding fundamental freedoms, emphasizing that individuals, not the government, should decide on matters concerning their bodies. Recent polls underscore the public sentiment, with nearly two-thirds of Americans disapproving of the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade.

In a statement last month, Harris reiterated her dedication to the cause, saying, “I will continue to fight for our fundamental freedoms while bringing together those throughout America who agree that every woman should have the right to make decisions about her own body – not the government.”

During a recent appearance on ABC’s The View, Harris criticized Republicans for their stance on abortion bans, stressing the importance of reelecting President Joe Biden and supporting legislators who align with the belief that the government should not dictate what women do with their bodies.

As the 2024 campaign unfolds, it is clear that reproductive rights will remain a focal point, with Biden and Harris leading the charge to protect and advance these rights for all Americans.
