Vice President Kamala Harris interrupted a stay at her Brentwood home Saturday to head to New Orleans for a “fireside conversation” at the Essence Festival of Culture but was set to return later in the day.
Harris “will speak to the most critical issues facing Black women, including the implications of the Supreme Court’s decision on Roe,” in the conversation with actress Keke Palmer, the White House said.
The conversation will be streamed at whitehouse.gov/live beginning at 2:15 p.m. Pacific Daylight Time.
