A poll shared by James Talarico’s spokesman puts Talarico ahead of Jasmine Crockett in the Texas Democratic Senate primary, while another recent survey showed Crockett leading. The conflicting results underscore uncertainty in the race.
A survey shared by Talarico’s spokesman found him leading Crockett, 47% to 43%, among likely Democratic primary voters. The poll of 800 voters was conducted February 10–12 and reported a margin of error of plus or minus 3.5 points. Its pollster also said Talarico led Crockett on perceived electability.

21 OUTLETSKamala Harris endorsed Rep. Jasmine Crockett in the Texas Democratic Senate primary, using a robocall to urge voters to support her. Left-leaning outlets present the endorsement as a high-profile boost and highlight Harris’s call for Crockett to hold Trump accountable. Center outlets largely treat it as a campaign development in a competitive primary, adding polling and campaign context. Right-leaning outlets frame it as a potential advantage for Republicans, with some criticizing Harris and Crockett.
