Vice President Kamala Harris addressed a crowd of 30,000 in Houston, emphasizing the importance of reproductive freedom in the upcoming election. In a tight race against Donald Trump, Harris called on voters to support Democrats to restore abortion protections, with women overwhelmingly backing her over Trump. Men, on the other hand, are more likely to support Trump, with only 2% ranking abortion as a top issue compared to 17% of women. Despite this divide, supporters like Gilbert and Karen Landry believe men need to be more informed about the government and women’s rights when casting their votes. Another attendee, Joel Avendano, believes Harris can unite the country and emphasizes that women’s reproductive rights should matter to all, regardless of gender. Rueben Butler, who already voted early for Harris, stresses the importance of being informed about candidates and policies rather than blindly following a party. Overall, Harris called on women in the stadium and online to choose a candidate who will protect women’s health, while also encouraging men to support these efforts. As the election nears, the divide between men and women’s views and priorities continues to be a significant aspect of the campaign.
