哈里斯重返竞选路为民主党站台:五州助选行程开启,2028年动向受关注

据路透社10月24日报道,美国前副总统、民主党2024年总统候选人哈里斯(Kamala Harris)本周重返竞选路,为民主党在中期选举最激烈的几场选战站台。她今年以来公开露面不多,此次行程覆盖佐治亚州、密西西比州、内华达州、新罕布什尔州和威斯康星州;民主党希望在11月3日的中期选举中打破共和党对国会的控制。
行程周二从 Las Vegas 开始。哈里斯与内华达州总检察长、民主党州长候选人 Aaron Ford 一同向餐饮工人工会成员发表演讲,称 Ford 若当选将成为「密西西比河以西第一位黑人州长」。她在演讲中批评特朗普政府说:「我们面前有一场硬仗。我们正在目睹纯粹的残酷,来自一个无疑是史上最腐败、最冷酷、最无能的总统政府。」
第二天,哈里斯在密西西比州 Columbus 的 Columbus High School 为联邦参议员候选人 Scott Colom 助选,带领人群高呼「密西西比重要」(Mississippi matters)。Colom 力争成为1982年以来密西西比州选出的第一位民主党联邦参议员,民调显示他与共和党现任参议员 Cindy Hyde-Smith 的选情异常接近。哈里斯在现场分享了她给年轻人的建议:不要让别人有限的眼界成为自己志向的限制。
哈里斯的全国支持度并不高。路透社与益普索(Ipsos)6月的一项民调显示,39%的美国人对她持正面看法,党派差异明显:民主党人中82%持正面看法,共和党人中只有7%,独立选民中为33%。布鲁金斯学会高级研究员 Elaine Kamarck 说:「到了竞选的最后阶段,你会派出你的重将。她是这样,特朗普那边也是这样。」
这次回归也重新引发外界对她2028年是否第三次竞逐白宫的猜测。哈里斯在回忆录《107天》中称拜登寻求连任的决定是「鲁莽的」,本月又批评了以色列在加沙的行动。被问到是否会再选时,她本月在一个视频播客节目中笑着回答「我还没决定」,随即补充说:「如果2026年做不好,2028年就无从谈起。」

Harris Returns to the Campaign Trail for Democrats in Five States, With 2028 in View
Former U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris, the Democratic Party's unsuccessful 2024 presidential nominee, has returned to the campaign trail this week to help Democrats in some of the tightest races of the midterm elections, Reuters reported on October 24. Harris had made relatively few public appearances this year. Her tour covers Georgia, Mississippi, Nevada, New Hampshire and Wisconsin, as Democrats try to break the Republican hold on Congress in the November 3 midterms.
The tour kicked off on Tuesday in Las Vegas, where Harris spoke to Culinary Workers Union members alongside Nevada Attorney General Aaron Ford, the Democratic candidate for governor, saying Ford would be the first Black governor west of the Mississippi if elected. "We got a serious fight in front of us," she said. "We are witnessing pure brutality come out of what is undoubtedly the most corrupt, callous and incompetent presidential administration."
The next day, Harris campaigned at Columbus High School in Columbus, Mississippi, for U.S. Senate candidate Scott Colom, leading chants of "Mississippi matters!" Colom is seeking to become the first Democratic U.S. senator elected in Mississippi since 1982, and polls show an unusually tight race against Republican Senator Cindy Hyde-Smith. Harris shared advice she gives young people she mentors: never let someone else's limited ability to see your capacity be a limitation on your ambition.
Harris is not broadly popular nationally. A Reuters/Ipsos poll in June showed 39% of Americans viewed her favorably, with stark partisan splits: 82% of Democrats, 7% of Republicans and 33% of independents. "At the end of a campaign, you bring out your heavy hitters," said Elaine Kamarck, a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution. "That's what's going on here with her, and frankly with Trump."
Her return has renewed questions about whether she will run for the White House a third time in 2028. In her memoir "107 Days," Harris called Joe Biden's decision to seek reelection "reckless," and this month she criticized Israel's conduct in Gaza. Asked on a video podcast this month whether she would run again, she laughed and said she had not decided yet, adding: "2028 don't matter if we don't do 2026 right."
