Former Vice President Kamala Harris announced on Wednesday that she would back Texas state Rep. James Talarico (D) in the Senate race for Sen. John Cornyn’s (R-Texas) seat after her preferred pick, Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas), lost the Democratic primary.
“I congratulate James Talarico for his win, and the inspiring campaign he continues to build. I appreciate that he is making the case for the kind of civic renewal our country needs,” she said in a statement through her office. “I offer him my full support in the months ahead.”
She lauded Crockett’s campaign, saying the Texas Democrat “waged this campaign with the trademark fierceness that has defined her career so far,” adding that “she has a bright future.”
Talarico was declared the winner of the Texas Senate Democratic primary early Wednesday morning, according to Decision Desk HQ. Crockett said in a statement on Wednesday that she conceded the race and called Talarico to congratulate him on his victory.
“Texas is primed to turn blue and we must remain united because this is bigger than any one person. This is about the future of all 30 million Texans and getting America back on track,” Crockett wrote.
