Vice President Kamala Harris has publicly called for the elimination of the Senate filibuster to codify the protections of Roe v. Wade into law. In an interview with Wisconsin Public Radio, Harris reiterated her stance that the filibuster should be removed to restore abortion rights legislation. This position aligns with her previous promises as Vice President in 2022 to cast a tie-breaking vote to end the filibuster for reproductive rights. Harris's call to action comes as she campaigns for the 2024 presidential election, emphasizing the need for 51 votes to reinstate nationwide abortion protections.
