The following day, on December 12, he addressed federal funding for abortion services: “The bottom line is the majority of Americans believe you shouldn’t be using taxpayer dollars to fund abortions.”

On December 13, Harris recognized a military milestone by posting: “Happy Birthday to the @USNationalGuard”.
