NY Times: “Former Vice President Kamala Harris has endorsed Representative Jasmine Crockett of Texas in the state’s Democratic primary race for Senate, her most significant endorsement since leaving office 13 months ago.
Ms. Crockett is locked in the final days of a close contest with James Talarico, a state representative who has built a substantial following on social media. Ms. Crockett, a second-term congresswoman, has crafted her image as a bare-knuckled partisan fighter in an era in which Democratic voters have been drawn to candidates who vocally oppose President Trump.
The endorsement from Ms. Harris, earlier reported by The Texas Tribune, came in a recorded phone message sent to Texas Democrats.
“Texas has the chance to send a fighter like Jasmine Crockett to the United States Senate,” Ms. Harris says. “Jasmine has the experience and record to hold Donald Trump and his billionaire cronies accountable.””
