Vice President Kamala Harris will travel to New Orleans on Saturday to take part in the Essence Festival of Culture.
According to White House officials, Harris will speak in"a fireside conversation with Emmy-winning actress and leading millennial voice Keke Palmer, where the Vice President will speak to the most critical issues facing Black women, including the implications of the Supreme Court's decision on [Roe v. Wade]."
Harris responded to the repeal of Roe that day, stating it was"the first time in the history of our nation that a constitutional right has been taken from the people of America." "The great aspiration of our nation has been to expand freedom, but the expansion of freedom clearly is not inevitable," the vice president said.
But the president has said it's up to Congress to make Roe federal law, and without a carveout to the Senate filibuster it's unlikely any attempt to do so by Democrats will fail.
