This week both President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris are visiting the Carolinas. Vice President Harris will be speaking in Charlotte today, coinciding with President Biden’s campaign speech in Charleston this week.
In Charlotte, Vice President Harris will focus on the Biden Administration’s initiatives to curb gun violence. She will be meeting with educators, counselors, parents, gun safety advocates, and local and state officials.
Harris is expected to talk about ways to reduce gun violence during a roundtable discussion at Eastway Middle School. The talk will be held just a few days after a senior at Myers Park High School was fatally shot.
During her visit, Harris will announce funding from the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act, aimed at enhancing mental health resources in schools.
Vice President Harris has made nine visits to North Carolina during her tenure, including a trip to Greensboro last September and a visit to Charlotte in June to commemorate the anniversary of the Roe v. Wade decision being overturned.
