Former Vice President Kamala Harris endorsed Rep. Jasmine Crockett in the Texas Democratic Senate primary, recording a robocall urging voters to support her. Crockett faces James Talerico in the March 3 primary.
Harris recorded a robocall endorsing Crockett, saying Texas could send a “fighter” to the Senate and that Crockett could hold President Donald Trump and his allies accountable. The report says Crockett also has endorsements from Sen. Angela Alsobrooks and Rep. Ro Khanna.
Crockett faces Texas state Rep. James Talerico in the Democratic primary. On the Republican side, Sen. John Cornyn is seeking reelection against Ken Paxton and Rep. Wesley Hunt; the primary winner will face the Democratic nominee, with a runoff possible if no candidate receives more than half the vote.
