Source: NBC News
Former Vice President Kamala Harris has made her first major return to campaign politics since her 2024 presidential run, endorsing Democratic Rep. Jasmine Crockett in the competitive Texas Senate primary.
The endorsement, first reported by the Texas Tribune, was confirmed by the Crockett campaign. Harris' endorsement involves two robocalls to boost Crockett, including one on Friday and another ahead of Tuesday's primary, according to a Harris aide.
The Texas Tribune reported that Harris says in the robocall, “Texas has the chance to send a fighter like Jasmine Crockett to the United States Senate. Jasmine has the experience and record to hold Donald Trump and his billionaire cronies accountable.”
Crockett is in a hotly contested race against state Rep. James Talarico for the Democratic Senate nomination on March 3. GOP Sen. John Cornyn is also in a competitive primary against state Attorney General Ken Paxton and Rep. Wesley Hunt.
