Kamala Harris’s History of Firsts
A senator from California and a former prosecutor, Ms. Harris has a track record in breaking new ground. Now, she is the first woman, first Black person, and first person of Asian descent elected to the country’s second-highest office.
A barrier-breaking prosecutor with a love for grilling — “Question, I will repeat —” — and music — ♫ “One nation under a groove —” ♫ California Senator Kamala Harris is making history as the first woman, and first woman of color, elected vice president. “Let’s talk about who is prepared to lead our country over the course of the next four years.” She ran for president, going head-to-head with Biden over school busing. “You know, there was a little girl in California who was part of the second class to integrate her public schools, and she was bused to school every day. And that little girl was me.” But she later endorsed him, and he picked her as his running mate. And soon they will be entering the White House together. “I am incredibly honored by this responsibility, and I am ready to get to work.” Haris has a track record of being the first. “You may be the first to do many things, but make sure you’re not the last.” She was the first black person and first woman to become district attorney of San Francisco, and later attorney general of California. “I decided to become a prosecutor because I believed that there were vulnerable and voiceless people who deserved to have a voice in that system.” And in 2016, she was elected the first Black senator from California. And now she will be the first woman, first Black person and first person of Asian descent elected to the country’s second-highest office. So what is she known for in Washington? “So my question to you —” As a senator, Harris served on four committees, and was perhaps best known for her tough questions. “It makes me nervous.” “Is that a no?” “Is that a yes?” “Can I get to respond please, ma’am?” “No, sir. No, no.” And some of her policy priorities? Criminal justice reform and racial justice legislation. “Racial justice is on the ballot in 2020.” After George Floyd’s killing in police custody, Harris became an outspoken voice in the national debate on police brutality. “We should have things like a national standard for excessive use of force.” And on the campaign trail, she doubled down on that message, making a concerted effort to reach voters of color. “People have been asking, ‘Why should I vote?’ One: Honor the ancestors. Honor people like the late, great John Lewis, who shed his blood on the Edmund Pettus Bridge so we could vote.” But she’s faced criticism from progressive activists over her record as a prosecutor, including her push for higher cash bails for certain crimes, and for refusing to support independent investigations for police shootings as recently as 2014. So what does she bring to the White House? “This is our house!” She is policy-oriented and pragmatic. Proponents say that her experience in law enforcement will help her face the unique challenges of the moment and that her lack of ideological rigidity makes her well suited for the vice presidency. “We can overcome these challenges.” Harris embodies the future of a country that is growing more racially diverse. As one of the best-known Black women in American politics, Harris now finds herself the most clearly positioned heir to the White House, with the oldest incoming president in history.

## Breaking Barriers, Breaking Ground: Kamala Harris Steps into Her Moment

Kamala Harris, the first woman, first Black person, and first person of Asian descent to hold the office of Vice President, stands at a pivotal moment in American history.  Her journey, marked by a relentless pursuit of justice and a commitment to breaking barriers, has positioned her as a powerful voice for a new generation.

Harris's path to the vice presidency was paved with historic firsts. From her time as San Francisco's District Attorney to her tenure as California's Attorney General, she consistently challenged the status quo and fought for marginalized communities. Her election to the U.S. Senate in 2016 further solidified her position as a rising star in the Democratic Party.

For her first two years in office, Harris was often confined to Washington, her vote crucial in the evenly divided Senate. While this allowed her to contribute to landmark Democratic victories on climate change and healthcare, it also limited her ability to connect with voters across the country.

Now, with the Senate no longer requiring her constant presence, Harris is poised to leverage her unique voice and experience. Her background as a prosecutor, coupled with her identity as a woman of color, resonates deeply with a nation grappling with issues of social justice and reproductive rights.

"Given that unique voice of a new generation, of a prosecutor and a woman when fundamental rights, especially reproductive rights, are on the line, it’s almost as if the stars have aligned for her at this moment in history," said Democratic Sen. Alex Padilla of California, who succeeded Harris in the Senate.

Harris's ability to connect with voters, particularly young people and women, is undeniable. Her charisma and unwavering commitment to fighting for equality have inspired millions. As the fight for reproductive rights intensifies, her voice will be crucial in mobilizing support and advocating for change.

The road ahead will undoubtedly be challenging, but Kamala Harris is uniquely equipped to navigate the complexities of the political landscape. Her unwavering dedication to justice, her historic achievements, and her ability to connect with a diverse electorate position her as a leader for this moment and for the future. 



## Breaking Barriers, Finding Her Voice: Kamala Harris Steps into a Defining Moment

Kamala Harris, the first woman, first Black person, and first person of Asian descent to hold the office of Vice President, stands at a pivotal moment in American history. Her journey, marked by a history of shattering glass ceilings, has led her to this point where her unique voice and perspective are resonating deeply with a nation grappling with fundamental questions about its identity and future.

Harris's path to the vice presidency was paved with groundbreaking achievements. From her early days as a prosecutor in Alameda County to her tenure as California's Attorney General, she consistently challenged the status quo and fought for justice. Her election to the U.S. Senate in 2016 further cemented her place as a rising star in the Democratic Party.

However, her first two years as Vice President were defined by the constraints of a narrowly divided Senate.  Her crucial role in breaking tie votes ensured landmark Democratic victories on climate change and healthcare legislation. Yet, this responsibility also limited her ability to travel the country and connect with voters on a personal level.

Now, with the Senate no longer requiring her constant presence in Washington, Harris is poised to fully embrace her role as a national leader. The current political landscape, marked by intense debates over reproductive rights and other fundamental freedoms, presents a unique opportunity for her to leverage her experience as a prosecutor and her powerful voice to advocate for the rights of all Americans.

Senator Alex Padilla, who succeeded Harris in the Senate, aptly captures the significance of this moment: "Given that unique voice of a new generation, of a prosecutor and a woman when fundamental rights, especially reproductive rights, are on the line, it’s almost as if the stars have aligned for her at this moment in history."

As Harris steps into this defining chapter of her career, the nation watches with anticipation. Her ability to connect with voters, articulate a vision for the future, and champion the values of justice and equality will undoubtedly shape the course of American politics for years to come. 

## Breaking Barriers and Breaking Ties: Kamala Harris Finds Her Voice as Vice President

Kamala Harris, the first woman, first Black person, and first person of Asian descent to hold the office of Vice President of the United States, is stepping into a moment uniquely suited to her experience and background. After two years largely tethered to Washington to cast tie-breaking votes in the evenly divided Senate, Harris is poised to leverage her unique voice on a national stage at a crucial time.

As California's former Attorney General and a Senator, Harris brings a prosecutorial background and a deep understanding of the law to the White House. This, coupled with her status as a woman of color, gives her a distinct perspective on issues like reproductive rights, which are facing unprecedented challenges.

“Given that unique voice of a new generation, of a prosecutor and a woman when fundamental rights, especially reproductive rights, are on the line, it’s almost as if the stars have aligned for her at this moment in history,” said Democratic Sen. Alex Padilla of California, who succeeded Harris in the Senate.

Harris's time in the Senate was marked by her crucial role in securing landmark Democratic wins on climate change and healthcare. Her tie-breaking votes were instrumental in passing these historic pieces of legislation. However, this responsibility also limited her ability to travel the country and connect with voters directly.

Now, with the Senate no longer requiring her constant presence, Harris is free to expand her role and become a more visible advocate for the Biden administration's agenda. Her experience as a prosecutor, her understanding of the legislative process, and her ability to connect with diverse communities make her a powerful force in the fight for reproductive rights, social justice, and equality.

Harris's journey from California Attorney General to the nation's second-highest office is a testament to her unwavering commitment to public service and her ability to break barriers. As she steps into this new chapter, her voice and experience are poised to shape the national conversation on critical issues facing the country. 

## Kamala Harris Steps into the Spotlight: A Vice Presidency Defined by History and Opportunity

Kamala Harris stands as a beacon of firsts. As the first woman, first Black person, and first person of Asian descent to hold the office of Vice President, she embodies a new era in American politics. Her journey, paved with groundbreaking achievements, has led her to this pivotal moment, where her unique voice and experience are poised to shape the nation's future. 

Her path to the Vice Presidency was marked by breaking barriers. From her early days as a prosecutor in Alameda County, to her tenure as California's Attorney General, Harris consistently challenged the status quo and fought for justice. In 2016, Californians elected her to the U.S. Senate, where she became a powerful voice for progressive change. 

Harris's first two years as Vice President were heavily influenced by the evenly divided Senate.

Her ability to cast tie-breaking votes was crucial in securing landmark Democratic victories on climate change and health care legislation. However, this responsibility also limited her ability to travel the country and connect directly with voters.

Now, with the Senate landscape shifting, Harris is poised to step into a more expansive role.

"Given that unique voice of a new generation, of a prosecutor and a woman when fundamental rights, especially reproductive rights, are on the line, it’s almost as if the stars have aligned for her at this moment in history,” said Democratic Senator Alex Padilla of California, who succeeded Harris in the Senate.

Harris’s background as a prosecutor gives her a unique perspective on issues of justice and equality. This, coupled with her identity as a woman and a person of color, positions her to be a powerful advocate for marginalized communities. Her voice resonates particularly strongly in the current political climate, where reproductive rights are under threat and the fight for social justice continues.

As Harris steps further into the national spotlight, her journey promises to be both historic and impactful. Her commitment to justice, her understanding of the legal system, and her ability to connect with diverse communities make her a crucial figure in shaping the future of the United States.

The eyes of the nation are on Kamala Harris, eager to see how she will utilize this unique opportunity to lead and inspire. 

## Kamala Harris Breaks Ground Again as Vice President: From Prosecutor to Potential Trailblazer

Kamala Harris, the first woman, first Black person, and first person of Asian descent to hold the vice presidency, stands at a pivotal moment in American history. Throughout her career, Harris has consistently shattered glass ceilings, forging new paths in both the legal and political arenas. As she embarks on her third year as vice president, her experience as a prosecutor and a senator, coupled with the current political climate,  creates a unique opportunity for her to not only represent but also drive change for a new generation.

Harris's journey began in California, where she served as the state's attorney general before making history as its first Black and first female senator. Her time in the Senate was marked by both significant accomplishments and unique constraints. While she played a crucial role in securing landmark Democratic victories on climate and health care legislation by casting tie-breaking votes in the evenly divided Senate, this duty limited her ability to travel the country and connect directly with voters.

Now, with those Senate constraints lifted, Harris is poised to leverage her past experiences and unique qualifications to become a powerful advocate for the issues she is passionate about. 

"Given that unique voice of a new generation, of a prosecutor and a woman when fundamental rights, especially reproductive rights, are on the line, it’s almost as if the stars have aligned for her at this moment in history,” said Democratic Sen. Alex Padilla of California, who succeeded Harris in the Senate.

Harris's voice carries significant weight as the fight for reproductive rights intensifies. Her legal background and perspective as a woman bring a crucial dimension to this debate. Furthermore, her experience as a prosecutor allows her to navigate complex legal issues and articulate her arguments in a clear and persuasive manner.

Harris's role as vice president also presents an invaluable opportunity to connect with a diverse range of Americans and build bridges across political divides. Her ability to relate to different communities and understand their concerns is vital for uniting the country and addressing pressing national issues.

As Harris navigates the complexities of her role, her past achievements and unwavering commitment to justice position her as a potential trailblazer for the future. She faces significant challenges, but her journey has prepared her to rise to the occasion and make a lasting impact on American history.

Harris's journey to the vice presidency began when she was elected to the Senate in 2016, representing the state of California. During her time in the Senate, Harris was often tethered to Washington, as she was tasked with breaking tie votes in the evenly divided Senate. Despite these constraints, Harris was able to secure landmark wins for the Democrats on climate and health care.

However, it was Harris's unique voice and perspective that truly set her apart. As a prosecutor and a woman, Harris brought a fresh perspective to the Senate, especially on issues related to fundamental rights, such as reproductive rights. And with these rights under threat, Harris's voice was more important than ever.

Democratic Sen. Alex Padilla of California, who was tapped to succeed Harris in the Senate, spoke highly of her abilities and her impact. "Given that unique voice of a new generation, of a prosecutor and a woman when fundamental rights, especially reproductive rights, are on the line, it's almost as if the stars have aligned for her at this moment in history," he said.

And indeed, the stars have aligned for Harris. Her election as vice president comes at a time when the country is grappling with issues of racial justice, gender equality, and reproductive rights. And as the first woman, Black person, and person of Asian descent to hold this high office, Harris is well-positioned to lead the charge for change.

Harris's election is not just a victory for her, but for all women, people of color, and Asian Americans who have faced barriers to success in this country. Her election serves as a reminder that anything is possible, and that representation matters.

Kamala Harris Breaks New Ground as First Woman, Black, and Asian American Vice President

SAN FRANCISCO, CA - Kamala Harris has always been known for breaking new ground. From her time as a prosecutor in California to her election as the first woman, first Black person, and first person of Asian descent to hold the country's second-highest office, Harris has consistently defied expectations and shattered glass ceilings.

Harris' rise to the vice presidency was not without its challenges. For her first two years in office, she was often tethered to Washington, D.C., where she served as a senator and was tasked with breaking tie votes in the evenly divided Senate. This duty gave Democrats landmark wins on climate and health care, but it also limited Harris' opportunities to travel around the country and meet with voters.

Despite these constraints, Harris remained a powerful force in American politics, using her unique voice as a prosecutor and a woman to speak out on issues that mattered to her, such as reproductive rights and social justice. Her supporters, including California Senator Alex Padilla, believe that the stars have aligned for her at this moment in history.

"Given her unique voice as a new generation of leader, a prosecutor, and a woman, when fundamental rights, especially reproductive rights, are on the line, the timing of her election couldn't be better," Padilla said.

Before her election to the Senate in 2016, Harris served as the Attorney General of California and the District Attorney of San Francisco. During her tenure as Attorney General, she championed progressive policies, including fighting for marriage equality, taking on big banks, and advocating for criminal justice reform.

As Vice President, Harris has already made history, becoming the highest-ranking woman in American government and the first person of Asian descent to hold the office. She has also taken on critical issues, including working to address the root causes of migration from Central America, advocating for voting rights, and pushing for more funding for historically Black colleges and universities.

In her acceptance speech, Harris acknowledged the trailblazers who came before her, including the women who fought for suffrage and the civil rights leaders who fought for equality. She also acknowledged the challenges that lay ahead, including the ongoing fight for racial justice and economic equality.

"While I may be the first woman in this office, I will not be the last, because every little girl watching tonight sees that this is a country of possibilities," Harris said.

As Harris continues to break new ground and make history, her supporters are confident that she will use her unique voice and perspective to create a more just and equitable world for all.
Kamala Harris: A Trailblazer in American Politics

Vice President Kamala Harris has made history as the first woman, first Black person, and first person of Asian descent to be elected to the second-highest office in the United States. Her groundbreaking achievement is the latest in a series of firsts that have defined her political career.

Harris, a California native, began her journey in public service as a prosecutor, eventually becoming the first woman and person of color to serve as California's Attorney General. Her tenure in this role set the stage for her next historic accomplishment: being elected to the U.S. Senate in 2016, where she represented the Golden State until her inauguration as Vice President in January 2021.

During her first two years as Vice President, Harris found herself in a unique position. The evenly divided Senate meant that her tie-breaking vote was crucial for passing landmark legislation on climate change and health care. This responsibility, while significant, often kept her tethered to Washington, limiting her ability to travel and connect with voters across the country.

Despite these constraints, Harris's impact has been profound. Democratic Senator Alex Padilla of California, who was appointed to fill Harris's Senate seat, highlighted the significance of her role in the current political landscape. "Given that unique voice of a new generation, of a prosecutor and a woman when fundamental rights, especially reproductive rights, are on the line, it's almost as if the stars have aligned for her at this moment in history," Padilla remarked.

Indeed, Harris's background as a prosecutor and her perspective as a woman of color have positioned her as a powerful voice in debates surrounding fundamental rights, particularly reproductive rights. Her ascension to the vice presidency comes at a critical juncture in American politics, where issues of equality, justice, and representation are at the forefront of national discourse.

As Vice President Harris continues to navigate her historic role, she faces both challenges and opportunities. Her unique experiences and viewpoints offer the potential to bridge divides and bring fresh perspectives to the highest levels of government. At the same time, she carries the weight of expectations as a trailblazer and symbol of progress for many Americans.

In breaking new ground throughout her career, Kamala Harris has not only made history but has also paved the way for future generations of diverse leaders in American politics. Her journey from California senator to Vice President of the United States serves as a testament to the evolving face of leadership in the country and the ongoing pursuit of a more inclusive democracy.
France was gripped by widespread demonstrations and strikes on Thursday as workers across the country voiced their opposition to President Emmanuel Macron's proposed pension system overhaul. The nationwide movement, which saw participation in numerous cities, has become a significant challenge to Macron's presidency and his reform agenda.

At the heart of the controversy is Macron's plan to raise the retirement age, a move that has sparked outrage among French workers who view it as an attack on their hard-won labor rights. The proposed changes would see the retirement age pushed back, potentially affecting millions of French citizens and altering a system that many consider a cornerstone of their social model.

Throughout the day, streets in major cities like Paris, Lyon, and Marseille were filled with protesters carrying banners and chanting slogans against the pension reform. The demonstrations brought together a diverse coalition of workers from various sectors, including transportation, education, and healthcare.

The strikes caused significant disruptions to public services, with many schools closed, public transportation severely limited, and some government offices operating with reduced staff. The extent of the mobilization underscores the depth of opposition to the proposed changes and the challenge facing Macron's government in implementing its reform agenda.

Labor unions, which played a crucial role in organizing the protests, have argued that the current pension system is fair and sustainable. They contend that raising the retirement age would disproportionately affect workers in physically demanding jobs and those who started working at a young age.

For President Macron, the widespread protests represent a critical juncture in his second term. Having made pension reform a key plank of his platform, the success or failure of this initiative could have far-reaching implications for his ability to implement other reforms and for his political legacy.

As night fell on France, it remained unclear whether the government would back down or push forward with its plans. What is certain, however, is that the French people have sent a powerful message about their attachment to their current pension system and their willingness to fight for it.

The coming days and weeks will likely see intense negotiations between the government and union representatives, as both sides seek a resolution to this contentious issue. For now, the streets of France have become the stage for a dramatic confrontation between a government determined to reform and a populace equally determined to preserve what they see as a fundamental right.
France was gripped by widespread protests and strikes on Thursday as workers across the country voiced their opposition to President Emmanuel Macron's proposed pension reform. The nationwide movement saw thousands of people take to the streets in major cities, presenting a significant challenge to Macron's presidency and his efforts to overhaul the country's retirement system.

The primary point of contention is the government's plan to raise the retirement age, a move that has sparked outrage among French workers and labor unions. Demonstrators argue that the proposed changes would unfairly burden employees and erode hard-won social protections.

In Paris, Lyon, Marseille, and other urban centers, large crowds gathered to express their disapproval of the pension reform. The demonstrations were accompanied by strikes in various sectors, including transportation, education, and energy, causing disruptions to daily life across France.

Labor unions played a crucial role in organizing the day of action, mobilizing their members and coordinating efforts to maximize the impact of the protests. The scale and intensity of the demonstrations underscore the deep-seated resistance to Macron's proposed changes.

For President Macron, the widespread opposition presents a significant political challenge. The pension reform is a key part of his second-term agenda, which he argues is necessary to ensure the long-term sustainability of France's social security system. However, the strong public backlash threatens to derail his plans and potentially weaken his political standing.

As the day progressed, tensions rose in some areas, with reports of clashes between protesters and police. The authorities were on high alert, deploying significant numbers of security personnel to maintain order and prevent any escalation of violence.

The outcome of this confrontation between the government and the protesters remains uncertain. While Macron's administration has shown determination to push forward with the pension reform, the scale of the opposition suggests that finding a compromise may be necessary to resolve the conflict.

As night fell, the protests showed no signs of abating, with many demonstrators vowing to continue their resistance in the coming days and weeks. The events of Thursday have set the stage for what could be a prolonged period of social unrest in France, as the battle over the future of the country's pension system intensifies.
In a massive display of public dissent, workers across France staged widespread walkouts and joined demonstrations on Thursday to voice their opposition to President Emmanuel Macron's proposed pension system overhaul. The nationwide strikes and protests have become a critical test for Macron's presidency and his ability to push through controversial reforms.

The heart of the dispute lies in Macron's plan to raise the retirement age, a move that has sparked outrage among French workers who view their current pension system as a fundamental right and a cornerstone of the country's social model. The proposed changes would see the retirement age pushed back, potentially affecting millions of French citizens.

In cities throughout France, streets were filled with protesters carrying banners and chanting slogans against the pension reforms. The demonstrations drew participants from various sectors, including transportation, education, and healthcare, highlighting the broad impact of the proposed changes.

The nationwide strike has caused significant disruptions to daily life in France, with many schools closed, public transportation severely limited, and numerous businesses affected. The scale of the protests underscores the deep-seated resistance to Macron's reform agenda and the challenge he faces in implementing his vision for modernizing the French economy.

For Macron, whose presidency has been marked by efforts to reform France's labor laws and economic structures, this latest confrontation with unions and workers represents a crucial moment. The outcome of this struggle over pension reform could well define his legacy and shape the political landscape in France for years to come.

As the day of action unfolded, observers noted that the size and intensity of the protests seemed to exceed expectations, suggesting that opposition to the pension reforms runs deeper than the government may have anticipated. This raises questions about Macron's ability to push through his agenda in the face of such widespread resistance.

The French government argues that reform is necessary to ensure the long-term sustainability of the pension system in the face of demographic changes and increasing life expectancy. However, critics contend that the proposed changes unfairly burden workers and fail to address underlying inequalities in the current system.

As night fell on a day of nationwide action, it remained unclear how the government would respond to this show of force by French workers. What is certain, however, is that the pension reform issue has ignited a passionate debate about the future of France's social model and the balance between economic necessity and social justice.
France was gripped by widespread demonstrations and strikes on Thursday as workers across the country voiced their opposition to President Emmanuel Macron's proposed pension system overhaul. The nationwide movement, which saw thousands of people take to the streets in various French cities, marks a significant challenge to Macron's presidency and his reform agenda.

At the heart of the controversy is Macron's plan to raise the retirement age, a move that has sparked fierce resistance from labor unions and workers across various sectors. The proposed changes would see the retirement age pushed back, a measure the government argues is necessary to ensure the long-term sustainability of the pension system in the face of an aging population and increasing life expectancy.

However, protesters argue that the reforms would unfairly burden workers and erode hard-won social protections. The demonstrations, which took place in major cities including Paris, Lyon, and Marseille, saw a diverse coalition of workers united in their opposition to the pension reforms. Public sector employees, transport workers, and teachers were among those participating in the walkouts and street protests.

The scale and intensity of the demonstrations underscore the deep-seated resistance to Macron's proposed changes. Many view the pension system as a cornerstone of France's social model, and attempts to alter it have historically met with strong opposition.

For Macron, whose presidency has already faced significant challenges including the "Yellow Vest" protests and the COVID-19 pandemic, the success or failure of his pension reform efforts could prove pivotal. The widespread nature of Thursday's protests suggests that he faces a difficult path forward in implementing his vision for modernizing France's economy and social systems.

As the day of action unfolded, the French government closely monitored the situation, aware that the protests' impact and public sentiment could influence the future trajectory of the pension reform plans. The coming days and weeks are likely to be crucial in determining whether Macron can navigate this latest challenge to his presidency and push through his contested reforms.

The pension reform debate in France touches on fundamental questions about the balance between economic necessities and social protections, a tension that resonates far beyond France's borders as many developed countries grapple with aging populations and strained public finances.
##  Kamala Harris: From Groundbreaker to Pivotal Voice in a Time of Crisis

**Washington D.C.** -  Kamala Harris, the first woman, first Black person, and first person of Asian descent to hold the office of Vice President, stands at a pivotal moment in American history.  Her unique background and experience, forged as a prosecutor and a senator, have positioned her as a powerful voice for a new generation grappling with fundamental rights issues, particularly in the wake of the Supreme Court's overturning of Roe v. Wade.

Harris's first two years in office were marked by the demands of a closely divided Senate, where her tie-breaking vote proved crucial in securing landmark Democratic victories on climate change and healthcare. However, this role also limited her opportunities to connect with voters across the country. 

"Given that unique voice of a new generation, of a prosecutor and a woman when fundamental rights, especially reproductive rights, are on the line, it’s almost as if the stars have aligned for her at this moment in history," said Democratic Senator Alex Padilla of California, who succeeded Harris in the Senate.

Harris's journey to the Vice Presidency began in California, where she served as Attorney General before being elected to the U.S. Senate in 2016. Her experience as a prosecutor, coupled with her commitment to social justice, has shaped her approach to policy and her advocacy for marginalized communities.

Now, as the nation grapples with the ramifications of the Supreme Court's decision on abortion, Harris's voice carries immense weight. She has emerged as a vocal defender of reproductive rights, calling on Congress to codify abortion protections into law.

As the country navigates a period of intense political and social change, Kamala Harris stands poised to play a defining role in shaping the future of America.
