The Latest: With just 5 days to go, Harris and Trump continue to battle for votes
Democrat Kamala Harris says recent comments by her opponent, Republican Donald Trump, are “offense” and that it’s clear he doesn’t understand women. She was responding to Trump, who said Wednesday that he will protect women, “whether the women like it or not.” The subtext of both Trump’s and Harris’ comments appears to be a 2022 decision by the U.S. Supreme Court that overturned federal abortion rights. Trump, while president, appointed three of the justices who formed the conservative majority on the court. Harris said Thursday that Trump’s comments are “offensive” to women and “their ability to make decisions about their own lives, including their own bodies.”
