Former Vice President Kamala Harris conducted a voter-organizing tour in New Orleans, Louisiana, to advocate for voting rights and civic participation. 

During her visit, Harris addressed the implications of the Supreme Court’s decision in Louisiana v. Callais, which eliminated the state’s second majority-Black congressional district and limited certain protections under Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act. Harris criticized the ruling, stating it threatens Black political representation, and framed the issue as a critical test for Democratic voter mobilization in the South leading into midterm elections.
