a national gun control organization, has been hitting the campaign trail for Harris in battleground states, with stops in Grand Rapids, Michigan, on Monday and last week in Philadelphia. According to Giffords aides, the former Arizona congresswoman’s appearances had long been planned even before her husband wasa $15 million campaign last week to help boost Harris and House candidates in battleground districts who have been advocating stricter gun laws.
Vice President Kamala Harris participates in a ceremonial swearing-in of Sen. Mark Kelly with his wife, Gabrielle Giffords, in the Old Senate Chamber on Tuesday, Jan. 3, 2023, on Capitol Hill in Washington. Eight months after the shooting, Giffords attempted to return to her work as a congresswoman to cast a vote on the debt ceiling, but she decided to resign a year later.
The organization Giffords founded in the wake of the shooting is a commanding force that has been involved in passing hundreds of laws at the state level to restrict access to firearms. In 2023, the group was able to trace some of its lobbying efforts back to $1 billion in community safety gun grants and $75 million in federal research on gun violence.
“I still can picture him holding her hand as she testified at congressional hearings,” a Democratic strategist with ties to Arizona said, speaking under condition of anonymity. “He’s been her biggest supporter over the years. I think the Harris team has to be taking that into consideration since the person chosen as vice president will need to be able to take orders and be in the shadow of a woman.
