Biden supports abortion rights in Virginia amidst New Hampshire primary
President Biden and Vice President Harris Rally for Abortion Rights in Virginia
President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris joined forces in a powerful rally at George Mason University, emphasizing the importance of protecting abortion rights nationwide. As New Hampshire held its unofficial first Democratic primary for the 2024 cycle, Biden and Harris made their stance clear on the threats posed by former President Donald Trump and his potential impact on women’s reproductive freedom and civil liberties.
The rally, which marked the campaign’s first joint event of the year, was also attended by First Lady Jill Biden and Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff. Emhoff, known for his high favorability ratings, passionately spoke about the need to fight for reproductive freedom, stating, “What they’re doing is immoral. What they’re doing is wrong. We need to stand up for the dignity and freedom of all Americans.”
Jill Biden echoed Emhoff’s sentiments, emphasizing the importance of men joining the fight for women’s rights. She declared, “This will not be the legacy we leave to our daughters and granddaughters, will it? The choice this election is clear. Women put Joe and Kamala in the White House, and we will do it again.”
Vice President Harris, who has become a prominent advocate for abortion rights within the Biden administration, passionately addressed the crowd, praising President Biden as a courageous fighter for fundamental American freedoms. She criticized the extremists who have proposed and passed laws criminalizing doctors, clinics, and women, emphasizing that the government should not dictate what a woman does with her body.
Despite interruptions from pro-Palestinian protesters, President Biden remained resilient, powered through, and directed his focus towards attacking Trump for his role in the potential overturning of Roe v. Wade. Notably, none of the speakers mentioned the New Hampshire primary, as Biden’s decision to alter the election calendar aimed to reward black voters in South Carolina and select a state that better reflected America’s demographics.
While Rep. Dean Phillips and author Marianne Williamson seek to challenge Biden’s likely nomination by outperforming expectations in New Hampshire, the focus of the rally remained on reproductive healthcare and the anniversary of Roe v. Wade. White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre emphasized the president’s commitment to delivering for the American people and did not comment on Biden’s decision to rally in Virginia instead of New Hampshire.

She emphasized the need for comprehensive reproductive healthcare that includes access to contraceptives, affordable childcare, and support for mothers.
