Gov. Josh Shapiro will headline a Sunday reproductive-rights rally for Kamala Harris campaign in Old City

Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro will kick off Vice President Kamala Harris’ campaign’s “Fighting for Reproductive Freedom” bus tour in Philadelphia at 11 a.m. Sunday.

The popular Democratic governor will headline the Old City event alongside Hadley Duvall, a Kentucky reproductive-rights advocate whose stepfather sexually abused and impregnated her as a child. Duvall has been making stops across the country.

Sunday’s rally will be the first event Shapiro headlines for Harris since the vice president passed him over as a running mate in favor of Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, but he’s been a regular presence on the campaign trail and a top surrogate for her in recent weeks.

The governor spoke in support of Harris last month at the Philadelphia rally where she introduced Walz as her running mate and later delivered a prime-time speech at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago. This week, he was among the prominent Democrats in the spin room for Harris at Tuesday night’s debate, and notably the only Pennsylvanian.
