(DDM) – Former United States Vice President Kamala Harris has thrown her support behind Representative Jasmine Crockett in the Democratic primary for the US Senate in Texas.
According to a source familiar with the matter, Harris recorded a robocall urging voters to back Crockett in the upcoming election.
“This is Kamala Harris, and I’m calling to encourage you to please go vote for my friend Jasmine Crockett in the Democratic primary today, Friday, February 27, or on Election Day, Tuesday, March 3,” she stated in one of the messages shared with CNN.
Harris highlighted Crockett’s legislative experience and record, describing her as a candidate capable of challenging former President Donald Trump and influential business interests.
“Texas has the chance to send a fighter like Jasmine Crockett to the United States Senate,” Harris said.
She emphasized that Crockett’s leadership could help hold “Donald Trump and his billionaire cronies accountable.”
The endorsement underscores the Democratic Party’s strategy to make gains in Texas, a state historically dominated by Republicans but showing signs of shifting demographics and changing voter patterns.
Texas’ rapidly growing urban centers and diverse populations have made statewide races increasingly competitive in recent years.
Democrats view the Senate primary as a critical opportunity to expand their representation and influence federal policy debates.
Crockett, a congresswoman representing Dallas, has focused on issues such as healthcare, education, and economic fairness during her tenure in the US House of Representatives.
Her campaign portrays her as a progressive fighter committed to equity and accountability in government.
High-profile endorsements like Harris’ are intended to boost voter awareness and mobilization ahead of early voting and election day.
Political analysts note that support from national figures can be particularly influential in crowded primaries.
Voter turnout in primaries tends to be lower than in general elections, making organized outreach and name recognition crucial.
Democrats in Texas are also emphasizing strategies to expand access to polls and encourage participation across suburban and urban districts.
Crockett’s campaign sees Harris’ backing as a signal of momentum and credibility within the broader party apparatus.
The endorsement may also draw attention from progressive activists and donors eager to support candidates aligned with national Democratic priorities.
Meanwhile, Republican opposition remains strong statewide, reflecting Texas’ complex political landscape.
Control of the US Senate is a strategic goal for both parties, amplifying the stakes of individual state races.
Harris’ robocall reflects the growing trend of former national officeholders leveraging digital outreach to influence local primaries.
For voters in Texas, the message is clear: Democratic leaders are mobilizing to increase participation and challenge longstanding Republican dominance.
As early voting continues and the primary approaches, the spotlight on Crockett and her challengers is likely to intensify.
Harris’ public support signals that party leaders view her candidacy as a linchpin in efforts to turn Texas blue in upcoming federal elections.
