The Texas Democratic Senate primary is heating up as Kamala Harris throws her support behind Jasmine Crockett. In a last-minute push, Harris endorsed Crockett through robocalls and public statements, emphasizing the importance of her candidacy. Meanwhile, fellow celebrity Cardi B has also rallied her followers to vote for Crockett over her opponent, James Talarico, making a political statement amidst a fierce competition. Voter interest in the primary has surged, with polls showing Crockett leading Talarico by double digits, yet the race remains tight and dynamic, capturing national attention.
