Former Vice President Kamala Harris is popping up across the US to stump for candidates in battleground states — but many see her support as more of a curse than a gift.
As Harris looks to strengthen her national profile ahead of a potential 2028 run for the White House, candidates in competitive races from Alaska to Wisconsin have signaled they don’t need or want the California Democrat campaigning for them, Politico reported.
In Kansas, Democratic Senate nominee Adam Hamilton said it doesn’t make sense for someone with a Golden State of mind to hit America’s heartland.
“Having somebody from California come in and try to tell Kansans who they should vote for is a pretty bad idea,” he told the publication.
Harris, who lost to President Trump in the 2024 presidential election, is still increasingly connected to the Democratic Party’s national brand, which remains unpopular with voters despite Trump’s ratings also dropping.
Her favorability numbers at the end of last year stood at just 42 percent, according to a YouGov poll.
That has led some swing-district Democrats to view Harris’ efforts as unhelpful.
Rebecca Cooke, who is aiming to unseat Republican Rep. Derrick Van Orden in Wisconsin, said Harris should keep her distance, despite the candidate welcoming endorsements from other potential 2028 contenders, like Pete Buttigieg.

Golf ball. Garden hose.
Suddenly a millionaire.
How great is that?
I just wish it were possible to get the access to do a real documentary on what will actually be said and done behind the scenes by these people in this election cycle. I just bet it would make a lot of heads explode.
Sadly, yes. Kamala wants to be our next president.
I’m thinking, Kamala has no interest in proving to voters that she deserves another bite at the apple, more than anything, Kamala remains seduced and mesmerized by the global power that is bestowed upon anyone who becomes the American President.
In her mind “I was THATCLOSE to being President, THATCLOSE to making history in every way anybody could want. I was so close to success, I swear, I could even taste it!!”
Kamala Harris says she ‘supports’ Dems who don’t want her on campaign trail: ‘Whatever they need to do to win’
Oh, she tasted it. From Willie Brown.
Just like Monica tasted it from Slick Willie.
Just like Hillary (!) tasted it from Huma.
Oh no. Make me stop.
Lol!

I have a link I'll send you privately. All I'll say publicly is that it is a Jody we used sing about "don't let your dingle dangle dangle in the dirt". Others can look it up.
