Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris warned voters that Republican Donald Trump and his allies would scale back healthcare programs if he wins the White House and said his comments at a Wednesday rally were offensive to women, Reuters reports.

In a brief press conference, Vice President Harris reminded voters that former President Trump had tried unsuccessfully to repeal the Affordable Care Act, also known as Obamacare, during his 2017-2021 presidency.

“Healthcare for all Americans is on the line in this election,” she told reporters in Madison, Wisconsin.

In response, Trump said he does not want to get rid of the program. “I never mentioned doing that, never even thought about such a thing,” he posted on his Truth Social platform after she made the remark.
