Kamala Harris recorded a last-minute robocall urging Texas Democratic primary voters to support Rep. Jasmine Crockett in the Senate race. The endorsement comes as Democrats choose a nominee to challenge Sen. John Cornyn.
Former Vice President Kamala Harris recorded a robocall urging voters to support Rep. Jasmine Crockett in the Texas Democratic Senate primary. The call was first shared by The Texas Tribune and arrived on the final day of early voting, shortly before Democrats select a nominee to challenge Sen. John Cornyn. Harris praised Crockett’s experience and record and urged voters to “turn Texas blue.”
The article says Crockett co-chaired Harris’s 2024 presidential campaign and has described Harris as a mentor and confidante. It also notes that James Talarico’s campaign has highlighted praise he received from former President Barack Obama, and recounts recent attention surrounding Talarico’s interview with Stephen Colbert and an FCC probe involving ABC’s The View.
