BREAKING NEWS: Kamala Harris just voiced support for ending the Senate filibuster — the rule that requires a 60-vote threshold to pass legislation — in order to restore the protections of Roe v. Wade nationwide.
This is a groundbreaking announcement, Harris. Here's what the vice president said:
"I think we should eliminate the filibuster for Roe, and get us to the point where 51 votes would be what we need to actually put back in law the protections for reproductive freedom and for the ability of every person and every woman to make decisions about their own body."
As VP, Kamala Harris broke more ties with her 51st vote in the Senate than any vice president in American history. And now, she's ready for her future presidential administration to break one more historic tie, if necessary, to enshrine the protections of Roe v. Wade into federal law and restore the right to abortion nationwide.
With our reproductive health care in a national state of emergency, Vice President Harris is the pro-choice champion we need to lead our country into a fairer, safer future. And with today's announcement, she proved her commitment to our rights once again.
