PORTSMOUTH, N.H. — Kamala Harris touted Medicare for all, an assault weapons ban, and the Green New Deal on her first visit to New Hampshire as a presidential candidate Monday. But the message she emphasized the most to Granite State voters was a simpler one: I’ll be back.

“I just want to get this out of the way,” the freshman senator from California said to open up her packed town hall Monday evening in Portsmouth’s South Church. “I intend to compete in New Hampshire. I intend to spend time here. I intend to shake every hand that I possibly can.”

Senator Bernie Sanders, who’s expected to enter the 2020 race soon, won New Hampshire with more than 60 percent of the vote in the last Democratic primary, and political watchers believe he and Senator Elizabeth Warren, who shares a similar message to Sanders, most likely have an edge here.
