Senator Raphael Warnock launches multi-state midterm tour to back Chris Pappas
Senator Raphael Warnock is traveling to several swing states to campaign for candidates, including Chris Pappas, as he eyes a potential 2028 presidential run.
Warnock, who is not up for re-election in 2026, has begun a cross-country midterm outreach to support Democratic contenders in competitive districts. Among those he is endorsing is Chris Pappas, a candidate in a key margin state. Political analysts see the tour as a way for Warnock to raise his national profile ahead of a possible bid for the 2028 presidency. His fellow Georgia senator, Jon Ossoff, will remain focused on his own re-election campaign.
Why it matters
Warnock's tour could shape the 2028 presidential field and influence key swing-state races in the midterms.
