Vice President Harris on Tuesday called for eliminating the legislative filibuster in the Senate to codify abortion rights.
“I think we should eliminate the filibuster for Roe,” Harris said on Wisconsin Public Radio. “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 and not have their government tell them what to do.”
It marks the farthest Harris has gone to date in her pledge to restore abortion rights if she is elected in November.
She has repeatedly said she would sign legislation passed by Congress to restore Roe v. Wade, which was overturned by the Supreme Court’s conservative majority in 2022.
