Vice President Kamala Harris is scheduled to campaign with Democratic candidates in Georgia, Nevada, and California ahead of the midterm elections.

Vice President Kamala Harris plans to campaign with Senator Jon Ossoff in Georgia and headline a Fulton County Democrats fundraising dinner in Atlanta on October 30. Additionally, she is slated to join Nevada attorney general and gubernatorial candidate Aaron Ford in Las Vegas next month. Harris also intends to campaign with Democratic challengers in two competitive House races in her home state of California.

Campaign Strategy and Party Dynamics

A spokesperson for Harris stated that the Vice President will support candidates in races where she can be helpful, emphasizing the importance of winning in November to address costs and government issues. While some candidates have welcomed her involvement, others have distanced themselves from the party's last presidential nominee. Candidates in Iowa and Alaska, as well as some House candidates in red states and rural districts, have declined or avoided assistance from Harris. In Iowa, where Harris lost by 13 points in 2024, both Senate and gubernatorial candidates opted not to have her help.

Focus on Midterm Elections

Harris has stated that her current focus is entirely on the midterm elections and winning back control of Congress. Regarding potential future political bids, she noted that she has not made a decision about 2028, stating that the upcoming midterms are her primary priority.
