Kamala Harris to Return to Tennessee in January for Book Tour Stop in Memphis

Kamala Harris

Former Vice President Kamala Harris will make her second visit to Tennessee since losing to President Donald Trump last year, according to a Memphis event venue, whose website was updated on Wednesday to include an event listing for the Democrat’s book tour.

The Orpheum Theater in Memphis is now selling tickets, ranging in price between about $75 and $150, for a January 25, 2026, event titled “A Conversation with Kamala Harris,” with the public invited “for a night of surprising and revealing insights,” inspired by Harris’ new book, 107 Days.

The event description asks, “How do we find hope and resilience in the face of adversity?” It then states, “Harris will share her powerful and timely message about what it will take to move forward, especially for those feeling disheartened and disconnected from the political process.”

Attendees can also expect to hear from Harris “about her life story, her historic presidential campaign, the experiences that have shaped her personal philosophies, and her path to finding purpose.”

Those interested can also pay about $500 to meet and greet the former vice president, or an additional $35 to receive a signed copy of Harris’ book.

Harris last visited Tennessee just last month, when she made a brief detour from her book tour to attend a Nashville campaign rally held by State Representative Aftyn Behn (D-Nashville), who lost her congressional campaign to Matt Van Epps despite polling showing a 2-point race.

While Harris gave remarks at an event where Behn appeared, the Tennessee Democrat left the stage before the former vice president arrived. With Behn gone, Harris attended the campaign rally with State Representative Justin Jones (D-Nashville).

Harris’ visits to Tennessee both occurred after she told the BBC in October that she may run for president again, even after her first attempt resulted in losses in every swing state and after Trump became the first Republican presidential candidate to win the popular vote since 2004.

“I am not done,” she told the outlet. “If I listened to polls I would have not run for my first office, or my second office – and I certainly wouldn’t be sitting here.”

Democratic National Committee (DNC) chairman Ken Martin previously said his party had its eyes set on flipping Tennessee back for the Democrats.
