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.
