Biden has defended abortion rights but emphasized women whose lives are in danger, and called it a"deeply private and painful" matter. Her use of the word"ceasefire," a term left-leaning Democrats were so eager to hear that it had become a rallying cry, was cheered by some, although others demanded it be met with policy changes, too. Harris also pushed Israel to do more to ease what she called a"humanitarian catastrophe" in Gaza.
To that end, he has used 11 of his 16 trips this year to competitive election states like Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania to promote"kitchen table" economic policies like bringing back manufacturing jobs shipped overseas and supporting unions. Reuters/Ipsos polling that shows Biden and Trump tied nationally also reveals a majority of women, people under 40 and Latinos disapprove of Biden's performance as president. Each group favored Biden in 2020, helping him beat Trump.
