Outlets agree that James Talarico won the Texas Democratic Senate primary and Kamala Harris endorsed him after previously backing Jasmine Crockett. Center outlets focus on the post-primary endorsement, with one also noting Harris’s call for Democrats to unite and another describing it as a gamble. Right-leaning outlets frame Harris’s earlier support for Crockett as a mistake and also recount a campaign dispute over remarks attributed to Talarico about Colin Allred.
