"I support them in doing whatever they need to do to win," the former vice president says The post MS NOW Host Grills Kamala Harris Over Democrats Telling Her to ‘Steer Clear’ of Midterm Races appeared first on TheWrap .

The host of MS NOW, Peter Alexander, confronted Kamala Harris on her potential involvement in Republican-leaning states' midterm races. During an episode of "State of Play," the discussion centered around celebrating Gloria Steinem's life. The segment concluded with Alexander asking Harris about her thoughts on a potential presidential run in 2028.

Harris swiftly shifted the focus back to the upcoming midterm elections, stating that her priority was winning seats in 2026. She emphasized that winning in 2026 was crucial, as 2028 would be irrelevant if those seats were not secured. Harris clarified that she has experience in local, statewide, and national campaigns and expects candidates to focus on winning, rather than allowing her to interfere in their races.

She also expressed her support for Democrats in their efforts to win by addressing key issues such as lowering costs, improving healthcare, and providing affordable childcare. The Politico reported that Democrats in Iowa, Alaska, Kansas, and Wisconsin had turned down Harris' aid in their campaigns. However, some Democrats, like Georgia Sen. Jon Ossoff, have accepted her endorsements and assistance with fundraising efforts.
