Vice President Kamala Harris has called for the elimination of the Senate filibuster to pass legislation that would codify the protections of Roe v. Wade into federal law. In an interview with Wisconsin Public Radio, Harris emphasized the need to restore reproductive rights, stating, 'I think we should eliminate the filibuster for Roe and get us to the point where 51 votes would be what we need to actually put back in law the protections of reproductive freedom.' This stance aligns with her previous position as Vice President, where she had promised to cast a tie-breaking vote to end the filibuster for reproductive rights. Harris's call to action comes as she runs for the presidency in 2024, aiming to secure the necessary votes to achieve this legislative change.
