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.

Worst bench ever — Kamala, AOC, Newsome. The committed DSA people might be somewhat pleased, but Normal People won’t go for any of it.
Kamala Harris HUMILIATED As Democrats REFUSE TO ALLOW HER To SHOW HER FACE In Red States!
Kamala Harris is an air-head - and I’m being kind...
“””Kamala Harris is an air-head - and I’m being kind...”””
But she is a contender!!!!!!!! /
Very nice. Recommended.
Hope you are right. We have to remember to look beyond the confines of the bubble we live in as normal people.
Some polls say el-Sayed for US Senate and John James’ opponent Jocelyn Benson for Governor are both ahead, inexplicably, in Michigan. Benson was one of the insiders getting the KKK and other hate groups empowered to help promote the funding for the SPLC group to appear it was needed to counter it.
If true it shows that, to paraphrase the saying about poor people: God must have loved stupid people because He made so many of them.
Did she have to go to the hospital after her brutal snubbing?
People! Think ahead and support her!
“Having somebody from California come in and try to tell Kansans who they should vote for is a pretty bad idea.”
Too bad the GOP isn’t smart enough to come up with that 30 years ago.
“Don’t call us, we’ll call you .... maybe!”
“Don’t call us, we’ll call you .... maybe!”
“Listen, kid, you paid for the call....”
The unburdening!
Well put.
Is this really true? The low IQ Caribbean-Canadian girl wants to run for President of the United States? Again?
Her IQ might be in the upper 50s or medium 60s. Just barely past retarded.
