The Oct. 8 event in Austin will mark the Biden administration’s highest-profile political appearance in Texas since Biden and Harris took office.
Vice President Kamala Harris host a roundtable with faith leaders on reproductive health care rights at the Los Angeles County Federation of Labor on Monday, June 6, 2022 in Los Angeles, CA. Vice President Kamala Harris is coming to Texas next month to headline an annual event for the state Democratic Party, according to the party.
It will be the Biden administration's highest-profile political appearance in Texas since Biden took office, and it will come a month before the November election. Harris will be the keynote speaker at the party's yearly Johnson-Jordan Reception on Oct. 8 in Austin. Gilberto Hinojosa, the state Democratic Party chairman, said in a statement that Harris' visit demonstrates historically red Texas is still in play.
"Her trip shows that that the nation's eyes truly are upon Texas as we head into the midterm elections — and critically, that from Beto's race, to Mike's and Rochelle's races, to race up and down the ballot, Texas is a winnable state," Hinojosa said, referring to the Democratic nominees for governor, lieutenant governor and attorney general, respectively: Beto O'Rourke, Mike Collier and Rochelle Garza.
