Neither Catholics nor Baptists have a "central structure" dictating which of their members can receive communion, under what circumstances. In BOTH cases, it is entirely up to individual pastors to make that call.

. When it comes to Catholic ministers, I would say roughly 5% have made the decision to withhold communion from pro-abortion politicians.

When it comes to Baptist ministers, I have seen zero make a statement along the lines of "Kamala Harris is not welcome to receive the Lord's Supper with our community until she repeats of her support of abortion on demand" . And yes, that includes even self described "very conservative, traditional, Bible believing" Baptist congregations. For example, Joe Biden was denied communion by a Catholic priest in South Carolina. I haven't seen a similar case of a Baptist pastor in Alabama turning down Kamala Harris.

I have never heard of an instance of Harris attending and attempting to take part in communion in any orthodox Baptist churches. I have never even heard of Harris even attending church other than during the campaign.
