Harris-Walz 'Fighting For Reproductive Freedom' bus tour coming to Virginia this week

A national bus tour will be making pit stops in Virginia this week to highlight Vice President Kamala Harris and Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz’s commitment to reproductive rights policy.

The tour will tout campaign promises to voters, such as Harris’ plan to sign into law a bill to restore federal abortion protections, should congress send one to her desk if she becomes president, while Walz will stand ready to cast a tie-breaking vote in the U.S. Senate if need be. With stops planned in Richmond, Virginia Beach and Northern Virginia, the tour’s foray across the commonwealth comes as early voting begins in Virginia next week and less than two months until Election Day.

Earlier this year while President Joe Biden was still seeking re-election, he and Harris had kicked off their campaign in Virginia on the platform to “restore Roe.”

The new bus tour will stop in all 50 states, including its three Virginia pit stops. A spokesperson for the Harris-Walz campaign in Virginia said that more details on the time and exact locations will be announced soon.
