NEW ORLEANS: US Vice President Kamala Harris, the top choice to replace US President Joe Biden if he were to step aside as the Democratic Party’s standard-bearer, spoke in New Orleans on Saturday (July 6) at the Essence Festival of Culture, an annual culture and music festival sponsored by Essence magazine, whose target audience is Black women.

Harris attacked former President Donald Trump and the US Supreme Court for taking away abortion rights. The appearance was part of an effort by the Biden campaign to shore up support among Black voters.
Harris on Friday (July 5) posted a supportive note on X after Biden’s rally in Madison, saying the president had devoted his life to fighting for Americans. “In this moment, I know all of us are ready to fight for him,” she said.
Amid increasing calls from fellow Democrats to end his campaign for re-election, US President Joe Biden on Saturday gave no hint that he was considering stepping aside after a pair of defiant public appearances a day earlier.
