Vice President Kamala Harris will travel to Parkland, Florida on Saturday to meet with families and visit Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School. In response, the Florida Democratic Party issued the following statement:
“Earlier this month, the Biden-Harris campaign launched their month-long blitz across battleground states. Tomorrow, we welcome the return of Vice President Kamala Harris, who has visited Florida more than 10 times since taking office.
“This visit demonstrates their commitment to Florida as a battleground in 2024 and highlights the action Democrats are taking to address gun violence. While Florida Republicans used this legislation session attempting to roll back Parkland-era gun reform, the Biden-Harris administration has shown leadership on gun violence prevention since day one, passing the first major bipartisan gun safety legislation in 30 years and creating the first Office of Gun Violence Prevention together with our own Congressman Maxwell Frost.”
“There is more work to do to make our state and country safer with sensible gun laws — and the only way we can ensure continued progress is by sending President Biden and Vice President Harris back to the White House in November. We thank the Vice President Harris for continuing to show up for Floridians and look forward to her visit tomorrow.”
