Former Vice President Kamala Harris endorsed U.S. Representative Jasmine Rockett in the United States — Texas Democratic U.S. Senate primary, a move that has injected late momentum into the closely watched race. Harris recorded a robocall urging voters to support Jasmine Rockett, highlighting her experience to hold Donald Trump and his 'billionaire cronies' accountable. Jasmine Rockett is competing against state Representative James Talarico, who emphasizes crossover appeal to Republicans. This primary is considered the first significant contest of the 2026 midterm elections and represents a strategic divide within the United States — Democratic Party (United States) between Jasmine Rockett's anti-Donald Trump approach and James Talarico's moderate appeal. The endorsement from Kamala Harris, a national figure, is seen as a boost for Jasmine Rockett, particularly among Black voters and the progressive base, though some analysts view it as a risky move in Republican-leaning United States — Texas. Other endorsements for Jasmine Rockett include Senator Angela Alsobrooks and rapper Cardi B, while James Talarico has received praise from former President Barack Obama. The winner of the Democratic primary will face one of three Republican contenders, including incumbent Senator John Cornyn, United States — Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, and Congressman Wesley Hunt.
