Former Vice President and Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris’s return to Charlotte has been delayed.

Harris’s Wednesday book tour stop at Ovens Auditorium, promoting her campaign memoir “107 Days,” is postponed, she announced on social media Tuesday. Her book tour stops in Greensboro, Columbia, South Carolina, and Savannah, Georgia, are also postponed, she said.

An Ovens Auditorium spokesperson told The Charlotte Observer the Charlotte stop has been rescheduled for April 14. Previously purchased tickets will be honored for the new date.

Harris alluded to the winter weather that’s slammed the region for consecutive weeks in her announcement. Charlotte-area communities got 6 to 12 inches of snow over the weekend, closing schools, snarling traffic and shutting down public transit.

“Stay safe, stay warm, and I will see you out there,” Harris said.

She previously visited Durham as part of the book tour, where she said Democrats need to respond in kind to Republicans “not playing fair.”

Harris was a frequent presence in battleground North Carolina during her presidential campaign in 2024. She ultimately lost the state by about 3 percentage points.

Her book includes details about her campaign stops in North Carolina and her relationship with former Gov. Roy Cooper, now a U.S. Senate candidate and potential running mate for Harris.
