The US vice-president, Kamala Harris, appeared with Barack Obama for the first time on the campaign trail, offering closing arguments targeting Black voters in Atlanta’s eastern suburbs. ‘Ours is a fight for the future,’ Harris said at the rally in Clarkston, Georgia.
She touched on familiar themes – reducing the costs of drugs, housing and groceries. Harris said she believes ‘healthcare should be a right and not just a privilege for those who can afford it’, and said Trump would gut the Affordable Care Act and roll back the $35 cap on insulin. The Democratic nominee reaffirmed her support for abortion rights, referring to the death of Amber Thurman, a Georgia woman whose death was recently found to be a result of the state’s abortion ban. Harris said: ‘Donald Trump still refuses to acknowledge the pain and suffering he has caused … women are being denied care during miscarriages’
