Kamala Harris endorsed Rep. Jasmine Crockett in the Texas Democratic Senate primary, giving Crockett a high-profile boost as she competes against James Talarico. The endorsement comes amid questions about Crockett’s general-election appeal in a traditionally Republican state.
A spokesperson for Crockett’s campaign confirmed that Harris recorded a robocall endorsing her; the Associated Press reported the confirmation, and The Texas Tribune first reported the endorsement. In the call, Harris said Texas could send a “fighter like Jasmine Crockett” to the Senate and urged voters to “turn Texas blue.”
Crockett is competing against state Rep. James Talarico, who has emphasized his ability to attract Republican crossover support. The article says Crockett’s criticism of President Donald Trump has energized some Democrats while raising concerns among others about her general-election appeal. Trump had not publicly endorsed Sen. John Cornyn or any of his Republican challengers.
