Kamala Harris Joins Jon Ossoff’s Georgia Campaign Ahead of the 2026 Midterms

Former Vice President Kamala Harris will travel to Georgia to stump for incumbent Democratic Senator Jon Ossoff and deliver the keynote address at a Fulton County Democratic fundraiser slated for late October. The appearance is part of a broader series of stops that also include supporting Nevada Attorney General Aaron Ford in his gubernatorial bid and other Democratic candidates in competitive races. Harris’ team says the effort is aimed at helping Democrats win the November midterm elections.

Harris was the Democratic presidential nominee in 2024 and lost the state of Georgia to former President Donald Trump by 13 percentage points. Georgia’s Senate seat, which Ossoff is defending, is viewed as one of the most closely watched contests in the 2026 midterms, with both parties hoping to either retain or flip the battleground seat. The state also remains a focal point for the 2028 presidential cycle.

The Fulton County fundraiser and joint campaign appearance are among Harris’ final scheduled stops before the November 2026 midterm elections. The outcomes of the Georgia Senate race, along with other competitive contests, will shape the balance of power in the Senate and influence the political landscape heading into the 2028 presidential cycle.
