Harris Throws Weight Behind Crockett in Final Stretch of Key Texas Senate Primary
Texas voters go to the polls March 3 in one of the most watched Democratic Senate primaries in memory, with U.S. Rep. Jasmine Crockett and state Rep. James Talarico battling for the right to challenge the Republican nominee in November. According to a Texas Politics Project poll, Crockett holds a sizable lead over Talarico in the final days of early voting.
Former Vice President Kamala Harris dropped into the race with a late-breaking robocall urging Democrats to support Crockett, boosting her visibility just as early voting wraps up.
Despite Crockett’s polling edge, some analysts describe the contest as too close to call, with both candidates focusing intensely on Black and Latino voters who could decide the nomination.
Democrats haven’t won a statewide Texas race in decades, so this primary’s outcome could shape party strategy heading into the general election.
