Feb. 27 (UPI) -- Former Vice President Kamala Harris has endorsed U.S. Rep. Jasmine Crockett, D.-Texas, in the Texas Democratic primary for the U.S. Senate.
Harris recorded a robocall for Crockett in the race, which has the Texas representative facing off against Texas State Rep. James Talerico for the Democratic nomination in the race this fall Republican Sen. John Cornyn's seat, The Texas Tribune reported.
Cornyn, who has been in the Senate since 2002, is running for re-election but has to win a Republican primary against Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton and Rep. Wesley Hunt.
"Texas has the chance to send a fighter like Jasmine Crockett to the United States Senate," Harris said in the robocall, which was first reported by the Tribune. "Jasmine has the experience and record to hold Donald Trump and his billionaire cronies accountable."
