Exclusive: Kamala Harris teams with childhood sexual abuse survivor to warn America away from Trump



Vice President Kamala Harris is joining hands with Hadley Duvall, who survived her stepfather’s sexual abuse as a child, to sound the alarm on what a second Trump presidency would mean for women in America.

“If you have a woman in your life that means something to you, her life is at stake,” Duvall told “Morning Joe” co-host Mika Brzezinski, sitting alongside Vice President Harris, in an exclusive interview that aired on Monday morning. The interview marked the two-year anniversary of the Supreme Court ruling striking down the landmark Roe v. Wade decision, which guaranteed the right to abortion in the United States.

Harris applauded Duvall’s courage in sharing her traumatic story with the world to advocate for reproductive healthcare for all women. The vice president added: “Let’s be perfectly clear about how we got here. Because the former president [Donald Trump] hand selected three members of the United States Supreme Court with the intention that they would undo the protections of Roe v. Wade, and they did exactly as he intended.”

Duvall, who grew up in Owensboro, Kentucky, was first sexually abused by her stepfather when she was 5. When she was 12, she learned she was pregnant and ultimately miscarried about two weeks later.
