VP Kamala Harris in San Jose on battle for abortion rights: 'This is a fight that is fundamental'

SAN JOSE, Calif. — Vice President Kamala Harris whipped up support among Democrats fighting for access to abortion in her home state on Monday afternoon, lambasting former President Donald Trump and Republicans for their erosion of reproductive rights as the November election nears.

In remarks made at San Jose’s Mexican Heritage Plaza, the nation’s first female vice president described the fight for abortion as “fundamentally about freedom.”

“We have to hustle over these next 10 months,” said Harris, an Oakland native and California’s former top prosecutor.
