what happened
Former Vice President Kamala Harris is going back on the campaign trail to help Democrats in some of the closest US midterm races, Reuters reported. Her stops include Georgia, Mississippi, Nevada, New Hampshire and Wisconsin. The vote takes place on November 3, and Democrats hope to take control of Congress from Republicans.
Harris opened her tour in Las Vegas with a new speech criticizing President Donald Trump. The next day she backed Scott Colom, who is running for a Senate seat in Mississippi, where polls show an unusually tight contest.
Harris has not yet decided whether to seek the presidency in 2028. She lost the 2024 election to Trump, and in her memoir she sharply judged Joe Biden's decision to seek reelection.
why it matters
Harris is not broadly popular, with a June Reuters/Ipsos poll showing 39% of Americans viewed her favorably. The story has little direct effect on markets, but midterm results shape the balance of power in Congress, which determines the chances of laws that investors closely watch.
