One of them said they have patients visiting from other parts of the country where there are strict limitations on abortion, and another said she\u2019s worried that people won\u2019t want to practice in important areas of medicine because of fears about government intrusion. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are looking at a health care crisis in America that is affecting people of every background and gender,\u201d Harris told reporters before visiting the doctor\u2019s office. <\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, President Joe Biden went to a union hall in Pittsburgh to promote Harris\u2019 support for organized labor, telling the audience to \u201cfollow your gut\u201d and \u201cdo what\u2019s right.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Harris appeared with Beyonc\u00e9 <span class=\"LinkEnhancement\"><a class=\"Link AnClick-LinkEnhancement\" data-gtm-enhancement-style=\"LinkEnhancementA\" href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/kamala-harris-abortion-rights-2024-election-democrats-f228eedd3308dab2e1125fdf6029a4a2\">on Friday in Houston<\/a><\/span>, and she campaigned with former President Barack Obama and Bruce Springsteen <span class=\"LinkEnhancement\"><a class=\"Link AnClick-LinkEnhancement\" data-gtm-enhancement-style=\"LinkEnhancementA\" href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/harris-obama-springsteen-perry-mix-master-atlanta-1ef1c592180db8fcbe0d0480248f9fe6\">on Thursday in Atlanta.<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s a level of celebrity clout that surpasses anything that <span class=\"LinkEnhancement\"><a class=\"Link AnClick-LinkEnhancement\" data-gtm-enhancement-style=\"LinkEnhancementA\" href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/hub\/donald-trump\">Donald Trump<\/a><\/span>, the Republican nominee, has been able to marshal this year. But there\u2019s no guarantee that will help Harris in the close race for the White House. In 2016, Hillary Clinton lost to Trump despite firing up her crowds with musical performances and Democratic allies.<\/p>\n<p>Trump brushed off Harris\u2019 attempt to harness star power for her campaign. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cKamala is at a dance party with Beyonc\u00e9,\u201d the former president said Friday in Traverse City, Michigan. Trump, the Republican nominee for president, is scheduled to hold a rally in Novi, a suburb of Detroit, on Saturday before a later event in State College, Pennsylvania.<\/p>\n<p>Saturday is the first day that early in-person voting became available across Michigan. More than 1.4 million ballots have already been submitted, representing 20% of registered voters. <\/p>\n<p>When Clinton was running against Trump, Michelle Obama inspired Democrats with the slogan \u201cwhen they go low, we go high.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>But this year, at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago, she adopted <span class=\"LinkEnhancement\"><a class=\"Link AnClick-LinkEnhancement\" data-gtm-enhancement-style=\"LinkEnhancementA\" href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/democratic-national-convention-harris-biden-obama-ffb55cee591f8f162ad77b5d6b91152b\">a more biting approach<\/a><\/span>. She accused Trump of \u201cdoubling down on ugly, misogynistic, racist lies as a substitute for real ideas and solutions that will actually make people\u2019s lives better.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>At a campaign event in Pittsburgh, Biden spoke with the Laborers\u2019 International Union of North America. He mentioned that Harris once walked a picket line with the United Auto Workers \u2014 \u201cshe has a backbone like a ramrod\u201d \u2014 while Trump has undermined organized labor. <\/p>\n<div class=\"Infobox\" data-module=\"\" data-gtm-region=\"What to know about the 2024 Election Today's news: Follow live updates from the campaign trail from the AP.
