Jasmine Crockett: I Talked to Kamala Harris Before I Decided to Run for U.S. Senate

EXCERPT:

CROCKETT: “I've talked to the vice president. I mean, I wasn't going to make this decision without having some real conversations with the vice president. And obviously, she didn't just run in one state. She's run in a lot of states, right? And to this day, she still remains a mentor and a friend and an auntie of sorts, even though I'm technically auntie status now.”
RYE: “That hurts when that happens, when that change comes, Jas, it's cold.”
CROCKETT: “I know. I know. It's crazy. I'm auntie status. But you know, talking to the vice president, it's tough because she looks at me like I am family, right? So there's been all the conversations, but also talking to some of the elected U.S. senators as well about this. And I won't out them until they come out, per se, in their official support capacities. But there is one member who was like, I think you can do it. Like, I have no doubts. And that particular member said, my biggest concern is your safety. If you tell me that you are going to take all the precautions that you need to take, then go for it.”
