Harris urged voters to support Crockett in a robocall released during the final stretch before the March 3 Democratic primary. Harris said Texas had a chance to send a fighter to the Senate and called for turning the state blue. Harris’s team coordinated with Crockett’s campaign, and another call was expected on Election Day.
A University of Texas Texas Politics Project poll cited in the article put Crockett at 56% and Talarico at 44% among likely Democratic primary voters.
