The Harris presidential campaign capitalizes on the abortion discussion during Tuesday's debate, showcasing it in a fresh advertisement.
Harris' team equipped the vice president to challenge Trump on nationwide abortion limitations. Her advisors attribute the preparation's success to her prodding him on reproductive rights, claiming it disrupted his balance throughout the entire discussion.
Now, they're turning that crucial moment into a promotional video that will air in pivotal states, such as Arizona and Nevada, where Trump is scheduled to visit this week.
The recently released advertisement incorporates both candidates' views on abortion during the debate.
"I accomplished an excellent service by doing it. It required bravery to do so, and the Supreme Court demonstrated remarkable bravery in doing so," Trump mentioned, referring to the overturning of Roe v. Wade.
In response, Harris shared personal stories of women grappling with healthcare while navigating abortion restrictions.
"I believe that certain freedoms, especially the freedom to decide over one's own body, should not be determined by the government," she stated.
Campaign staff cited the vice president's reply as one of the most powerful moments of the debate, based on internal statistics suggesting that stories of miscarriages and rape victims had the most impact on undecided voters.
In a statement, Harris-Walz campaign manager Julie Chavez Rodriguez asserted that abortion is "one of the major issues in this election, and the distinction between the candidates could not be more apparent."
The announcement occurs as Harris sets foot in North Carolina – a vital state that President Joe Biden barely won in 2020, but where campaign officials aim to make gains among voters who may be wary of Trump and controversial GOP gubernatorial candidate Mark Robinson.
North Carolina Democratic Gov. Roy Cooper shared with CNN’s Jeff Zeleny on Tuesday that he believes Harris will influence North Carolina, a crucial battleground state, after her impressive performance in Philadelphia.
Harris' commitment to safeguarding abortion rights and healthcare, Cooper argued, could significantly boost Democratic attempts to secure the state in a presidential election for the first time since 2008.
On Wednesday, Harris campaign officials scrutinized debate footage to pinpoint crucial moments to showcase in new campaign TV and digital ads, according to the campaign, aiming to intensify what they deem to be the debate's strongest exchange.
The latest ads are part of $370 million set aside for digital and television advertising between Labor Day and Election Day.
The promotional video highlights Harris' challenge to Trump's stance on nationwide abortion limitations, emphasizing it as a pivotal moment in politics.In this election, the distinction between the candidates' views on abortion rights, such as Harris' belief in individual body freedom, is considered a major political issue.
