The former California attorney general will campaign in South Carolinaโ€”the state that holds the first southern primaryโ€”on Feb. 15-16, followed by a Feb. 18-19 trip to New Hampshire. As if that isnโ€™t ambitious enough, Harris will campaign in Iowa on Feb. 23-24. And sheโ€™ll stop in Nevada from Feb. 28-March 1.

During midterm elections, Harris previously campaigned in Iowa, South Carolina and Nevada, โ€œbut the early state stops will be Harrisโ€™ first opportunities as a presidential candidate to meet with voters in smaller settings โ€” a crucial test that several of her 2020 Democratic opponents have already started in on,โ€ Politico reports.

Sen. Cory Booker (D-N.J.), who announced his run for the White House just last week, is expected to visit Iowa on Friday and Saturday and will head to South Carolina and New Hampshire over Presidentโ€™s Day weekend. Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-N.Y.), whose first early state stops were in Iowa and New Hampshire, will also head to South Carolina, according to Politico.
