New: Kamala Harris Tests Her Clout With Primary Push of Jasmine Crockett

It's not often one can look at a news story involving a primary election and be completely unable to resist bursting out in laughter, but that happened on Saturday. The story? The worst presidential candidate in American history, former Vice President Kamala Harris, has announced her backing for the worst United States Senate candidate in American history, Democrat Representative Jasmine Crockett (TX-30).

Yes, really. This right here is a case of the blind leading the terminally clueless.

“Hi, this is Kamala Harris, and I’m calling to encourage you to please go vote for my friend Jasmine Crockett in the Democratic primary,” Harris says in a pre-recorded message, which was first reported by the Texas Tribune.

“Texas has the chance to send a fighter like Jasmine Crockett to the United States Senate. Jasmine has the experience and record to hold Donald Trump and his billionaire cronies accountable,” she continues. “It’s time to turn Texas blue.”

Harris’ endorsement marks a major jolt for Crockett in her intensifying primary fight with Texas state Rep. James Talarico on the final day of early voting in the state. The outcome of the Democratic primary, and the equally turbulent Republican primary, could prove pivotal in determining whether Democrats have a chance of taking control of the Senate.

Crockett looks to be handily winning the Texas Democratic primary, scheduled for March 3rd. This should have Texas Republicans turning cartwheels for the sheer joy of it.

This is just too funny. Kamala Harris may have just endorsed the one Democrat who suffers from a greater degree of utter clue-impairment than she does. Her presidential campaign in 2024 was a combination of incompetence and an utter lack of self-awareness. Kamala herself managed to be an even worse candidate than Hillary Clinton, joining her in being not only the first two female presidential candidates, but the two presidential candidates who lost elections to Donald Trump.

We might note that, when Kamala Harris suffered that catastrophic 2024 loss, the United States dodged, not a bullet, but an entire ammunition factory, along with the plants that manufacture brass cases, primers, powder, and bullets. Republicans and independents hit their knees every morning in gratitude that Kamala Harris isn't president, while simultaneously pleading for her to run in 2028, so the Republican candidate can handle her as adroitly as then-OH Senator JD Vance destroyed Kamala's running mate, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, in that famous 2024 VP debate. 

Vance won the debate, not only on substance, but with that one famous fourth-wall break, when he delivered his bemused smirk directly into the camera. Kamala Harris and Jasmine Crockett have no similar instincts. Jasmine Crockett has all the charm and charisma of a tube of Preparation H, and no matter who wins the Republican contest, they should feel pretty confident - although, I would caution them, they had better run the campaign like they are 10 points down, right up to election day.

Here's the onion:

The endorsement offers a test of Harris’ political capital in the wake of the 2024 election. In interviews and appearances tied to her book tour detailing the whirlwind presidential campaign, Harris repeatedly refused to rule out running for political office in the future, despite passing on running for governor of California.

Yeah, she's likely going to run for president again. Sadly, for Democrats, her primary opposition right now appears to be the impeccably coiffed Governor Gavin Newsom of California, whose tactic of choice is to deal with opposition by punching himself repeatedly in the face.

We've got a couple of vitally important election cycles ahead of us - this year's midterms and the 2028 presidential race. Both will be closely fought. We can only hope that the Democrats keep putting up candidates of this caliber, because if they do, Republican victories are assured.

Editor’s Note: The 2026 Midterms will determine the fate of President Trump’s America First agenda. Republicans must maintain control of both chambers of Congress.
