PHOENIX (AP) — Kamala Harris said Thursday that Donald Trump’s comment that he would protect women whether they “like it or not” shows that the Republican presidential nominee does not understand women’s rights “to make decisions about their own lives, including their own bodies.” “I think it’s offensive to everybody, by the way,” Harris said before she set out to spend the day campaigning in the Western battleground states of Arizona and Nevada. She followed up those remarks at her […]

The attacks on childless women by Republicans may lead to their downfall

Editor’s note: The following article is an op-ed, and the views expressed are the author’s own. Read more opinions on theGrio. Like Vice President Kamala Harris and millions of women, I’ve never given birth to a child. But contrary to the insulting views of Republican vice presidential nominee Sen. JD Vance and Arkansas Republican Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders, this doesn’t make us inferior to biological mothers. Sanders, who was then-President Donald Trump’s White House press secretary, criticized Harris last month […]

2 Black women could make Senate history on Election Day

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Senate has the potential for history-making this fall, with not one, but two, Black women possibly elected to the chamber, a situation never seen in America since Congress was created more than 200 years ago. Delaware’s Lisa Blunt Rochester marks the milestone by saying that the reason she does this work is not about making history, “but to make a difference, an impact, on people’s lives.” Maryland’s Angela Alsobrooks said that people like her, and stories like hers, don’t usually make […]

Could Kamala Harris inspire a new wave of Black women to run for office?

Let me see you, Maya …” Harris says while gently tilting […]
