Vice President Kamala Harris spoke to a crowd of 30,000 in Houston, emphasizing the importance of reproductive freedom ahead of the upcoming election. She highlighted the growing divide between men and women in their support for candidates, with a majority of women backing Harris while men favor Trump.

He emphasized the need for men to educate themselves on government and make informed decisions. Karen Landry expressed concern about reproductive rights and disagreed with Trump’s policies on women’s bodies.
Other attendees like Joel Avendano believed Harris could unite the country and that men should care about women’s reproductive rights. Rueben Butler stressed the importance of informed voting regardless of party affiliation. Harris called on both women and men to support candidates who prioritize women’s health.
Overall, the event highlighted the gender divide in political views and the importance of women’s rights in the upcoming election. Supporters of Harris emphasized the need for informed decision-making and unity across gender lines. Harris’ message resonated with many attendees, urging them to consider the implications of their vote on women’s health and rights.
