AxiosFormer Vice President Kamala Harris will serve as keynote speaker at the Louisiana Democratic Party's fundraiser gala on August 7 in New Orleans. A person close to Harris said the former vice president plans to outline steps Democrats could take to address the effects of the Supreme Court decision in Louisiana v. Callais.
The ruling permits states to redraw congressional districts in ways that may reduce the number of majority-Black districts in the South. She also took part in organizing calls hosted by the groups Emerge and Win with Black Women. This marks Harris' second visit to Louisiana in recent months. She attended a book tour event and the swearing-in of New Orleans Mayor Helena Moreno in January.
