Sen. Kamala Harris (D-Calif.) will campaign in Iowa for the first time later this month, increasing speculation that she could be preparing for a possible 2020 presidential run, according to multiple reports.
{mosads}The Democrat is expected to campaign on Oct. 22-23 in Des Moines and Cedar Rapids in the first-in-the-nation caucus state, with other events likely to be added, Politico reported.
Harris’s trip will come after her visit to South Carolina, an early-voting state and the first Southern state to hold a primary during the primary season.
Harris has raised more than $5 million this year for party candidates and said recently that she would “take a look” at a possible 2020 presidential run following November’s midterm elections.
Harris’s office did not immediately respond to The Hill’s request for confirmation of the campaign stop.
Other possible 2020 contenders are already making their way to the Hawkeye State.
Sen. Cory Booker (D-N.J.) visited Iowa last week, appearing at a number of events to campaign for 2018 midterm candidates. Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) is also set to visit Iowa later this month as he campaigns for Democratic candidates in the midterms.
