Kamala Harris urges voters to verify registration ahead of midterms
Former Vice President Kamala Harris posted a video urging Americans to check their voter registration and mobilize Democratic voters for the upcoming midterm elections.
Kamala Harris shared a video urging the public to verify their voter registration and to spread the message through group chats, describing a massive Democratic turnout as a safeguard against alleged election fraud. She warned that voter rolls are being purged and that high participation would make the election "too big to rig," a phrase first used by Donald Trump in 2024. Harris has shifted her post-vice-presidential role toward voter mobilization for the 2026 midterms, frequently appearing alongside Democratic candidates.
Some Democrats have expressed unease about her campaigning, citing her association with the Biden administration as potentially polarizing. The former vice president also referenced ongoing claims of election cheating, noting past FBI seizures of 2020 ballots in Fulton County, Georgia. While she remains a leading contender for the 2028 Democratic presidential nomination, she has kept a low profile, and rival Gavin Newsom said he would not run if she entered the race.
Why it matters
High voter turnout could influence control of Congress in the 2026 midterm elections.
