Sep. 13, 2022: What the VP told activists about abortion
Back in July, a coalition of civil rights and reproductive rights groups pushed President Joe Biden for \u201ccontinued leadership\u201d in the wake of the Supreme Court decision overturning Roe v. Wade, requesting a POTUS meeting.\xa0\nOn Monday evening, they got their meeting \u2014 with VP Kamala Harris, who spent about 90 minutes with the groups\u2019 leaders. Her message, attendees said, echoed the rising sentiment in Democratic circles that abortion rights stand to be a key motivating factor in the midterms \u2014 and she said the Biden administration would continue raising the salience of the issue.\xa0\nSubscribe to the POLITICO Playbook newsletter\nRaghu Manavalan is the Host of POLITICO's Playbook.Jenny Ament is the Executive Producer of POLITICO Audio.
