Kamala Harris endorses Jasmine Crockett in Texas Democratic Senate primary

Former Vice President Kamala Harris has endorsed Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett in Texas’ Democratic Senate primary, giving Crockett a big boost as she faces concerns about electability. Crockett has built a national profile with sharp attacks on Republicans in Congress. She's running against state Rep. James Talarico, who stresses crossover appeal in a GOP-dominated state. The March 3 primary marks the first major contest of the 2026 midterms. Harris endorsed Crockett on the same day Trump visited Corpus Christi. He has endorsed Sen. John Cornyn or any challenger.
