Harris and Trump Head to Texas in Showdown Over Abortion Rights

Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump are both campaigning in Texas, a historically conservative state, discussing abortion rights. Harris focuses on abortion as a key issue for women voters, while Trump tries to appeal to moderates despite his role in overturning Roe v. Wade.

Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump have taken their campaigns to Texas, a state with a pivotal stance on abortion rights. On Friday, both visited the conservative state, marking a significant moment ahead of the upcoming November election.

Harris's aim is clear: highlight the risks Trump and Republicans pose to abortion rights nationwide. The backdrop of Texas, the first state to implement a near-total abortion ban, serves as a powerful setting for her message. She was accompanied by women impacted by the state's restrictive abortion laws and was joined by superstar singer Beyonce in Houston.

Meanwhile, Trump was in Texas to record a podcast with Joe Rogan while also attempting to appeal to moderate voters. Despite previously celebrated judicial appointments that contributed to overturning Roe v. Wade, Trump is cautious to distance himself from a national abortion ban as he campaigns for broader voter support.
