Harris praised Gov. J.B. Pritzker and Mayor Lori Lightfoot for protecting the status of Illinois and Chicago as a safe haven on abortion rights.
Lt. Gov. Juliana Stratton, from left, Vice President Kamala Harris and Gov. J.B. Pritzker raise their hands in a show of unity after speaking to Democratic supporters during a rally at the University of Illinois at Chicago on Sept. 16, 2022.
“We have a midterm coming up in 53 days,” Harris said. “Who your governor is matters. Whether they’re going to protect these rights, and support these rights, to freedom and liberty, it matters. Who’s your attorney general matters, whether they are going to protect and defend the principles ingrained in the Constitution of the United States. That matters.”Vice President Kamala Harris speaks to Democratic supporters during a rally at the University of Illinois at Chicago on Sept. 16, 2022.U.S.
Harris noted the recent overwhelming rejection by voters in Kansas of a proposed amendment to that state’s constitution that would have allowed lawmakers to place new restrictions on abortion. “To all the right-wing officeholders who have been cheering on the Jan. 6 insurrectionists, making it harder to vote, lauding the Supreme Court for taking away reproductive rights and rallying behind a national abortion ban, we are coming for you,” Pritzker said. “Anti-choice, MAGA Republicans, you will lose in November.”Left largely unaddressed, at least publicly, was the recent arrival of migrants sent without warning to Chicago and elsewhere around the nation, including to near the U.S.
“Kamala Harris would rather campaign for her Democratic friends than protect our nation from an overflowing border,” the state GOP said, before asking supporters to “pitch in to reject Kamala Harris and hold her accountable.”
