VP Kamala Harris Boosts Rising Texas Star Jasmine Crockett's Senate Bid
Vice President Kamala Harris throws her weight behind Texas Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett's Senate campaign, setting up a high-profile race in the Lone Star State.
In a move that is sure to shake up the political landscape in Texas, Vice President Kamala Harris has officially endorsed Jasmine Crockett in her campaign for the state's open Senate seat. Crockett, a first-term Democratic Congresswoman, is seeking to replace the retiring Senator John Cornyn, a Republican who has held the position since 2002.
The endorsement from the nation's first female, first Black, and first South Asian American vice president is seen as a major boost for Crockett's campaign. Harris, who hails from California, has long been a vocal advocate for increasing diversity in elected office, and her decision to wade into the Texas race underscores the national significance of Crockett's bid.
