The vice president plans to meet with abortion providers and staff members in Minneapolis, a striking political move that shows how assertive Democrats have grown on the issue.

The appearance at a health center will be the latest leg in a nationwide tour by Ms. Harris, who has emerged as the most outspoken defender of abortion rights in the administration. While White House officials say they have largely reached the limits of their power to protect abortion rights, the issue has emerged as a linchpin of their re-election strategy.

    This is the kiss of death. Putting Kamala Harris in charge of an issue means the administration doesn’t think there’s any solution (remember how she was supposed to fix the border?).

    Yeah, sounds about right.

      And we saw what happened there. Democrats adopted Republican policy wholesale.

        then pretended it was some ridiculous nth-dimensional chess move when the republicans told them to fuck off because they’d rather their guy get credit for it.
