Kamala Harris Campaigns for Democrats Ahead of Midterms, With Stops in Mississippi and New Hampshire
Photo: CNNFormer Vice President Kamala Harris has been campaigning for Democratic candidates across the country less than two weeks before the midterm elections, with stops that included Mississippi and New Hampshire. At a phone banking event in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, over the weekend, she appeared with Rep. Chris Pappas, the Democratic Senate nominee, gubernatorial candidate Cinde Warmington and House candidate Stefany Shaheen. In remarks there, Harris cited her time as a U.S. senator, saying conversations in Washington's rooms require certain people to speak up and encourage a conscience about what the country should care about. Harris opened her midterm tour in Nevada, which holds the second statewide contest on the Democrats' 2028 primary calendar; New Hampshire holds the third. Harris has reportedly not ruled out another White House bid. Many Democratic campaigns believe having her around helps them, and voters have turned out at her events.
Right-leaning Daily Wire leads with the Portsmouth event and a 76-word clip of Harris's remarks, calling it a meandering monologue and a word salad. It notes she repeated the words "certain" and "rooms" and did not explain who should speak or what they should say. It also links the trip to a possible 2028 run through the early primary calendar. Left-leaning CNN, in an excerpt, instead presents her continued presence as a plus: it says she is hearing from many Democratic campaigns who think she helps, and from voters turning out to show agreement. CNN's excerpt mentions Mississippi and nationwide stops, not the New Hampshire speech. Both sides agree she is actively campaigning before the midterms; they differ on whether the focus is her message or her reception. Alternative / independent outlets had not reported this story at the time of writing, while left-leaning and right-leaning outlets had.
How the sides differ Left sources stress Democratic campaigns welcoming Harris and voter turnout; right sources focus on a criticized New Hampshire speech and 2028 speculation; alternative sources have not covered it.
