U.S. Rep. Jasmine Crockett, D-Dallas, looks to inspire young, minority and women voters in swing states on behalf of Vice President Kamala Harris.
U.S. Rep. Jasmine Crockett, D-Dallas, speaks during the Democratic National Convention, Monday, Aug. 19, 2024, in Chicago. CHARLOTTE — Looking to fire up North Carolina Democrats who want to help Vice President Kamala Harris win the state, U.S. Rep. Jasmine Crockett expressed amazement that the presidential race was so close.
Crockett began the campaign season traveling on behalf of Biden but shifted her focus after he dropped from the race in July after a poor debate performance. She’s now a national co-chair for Harris, campaigning in states with demographic profiles that play to her strengths.“The mission is the same. The approach is a little different,” Crockett said. “At the end of the day, you have two candidates that have delivered for the American people.
“She’s genuine,” said Melody Harris, immediate past president of Delta Sigma Theta’s Charlotte Alumnae Chapter. “She’s straight, no chaser.” During the final weeks of the campaign, Miller has been sending text messages, mail and a Spanish-language digital ad to swing state voters.“We’re getting momentum,” Miller said. “We’re looking better than we ever have, even in the last two elections. I won’t say we’ve got it in the bag, because there’s still a lot of things that could happen, but we’re looking really good.
The alliteration was a nod to Crockett’s viral response to U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Georgia, who suggested during a House committee hearing in May that Crockett’s “fake eyelashes” were interfering with her ability to read.Democrats objected, but the panel’s Republican chairman, Rep. James Comer of Kentucky, ruled Greene did not violate rules against personal attacks.
Crockett told the sold-out dinner that it was important for Democrats in North Carolina, Texas and across the country to stay committed to effectively representing their constituents.“What you see in me is what representation should look and feel like,” Crockett said. “For so long, we have been left out of the boardrooms. Now, not only are we getting in the room, but we’ve decided we’re not going to be wallflowers. We understand that we were duly elected like everybody else.
