Representative Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas) expressed her support for Vice President Harris as a potential successor to President Biden. She criticized those who have been urging the president to step down. In a post on the social media platform X, Crockett praised Biden, stating that the issue lies with the Democrats, not the president. Biden announced on Sunday that he would be withdrawing from the presidential race after facing increasing pressure to resign following a poorly received debate performance.
“Well I hope the geniuses that pushed the most consequential President of our lifetime out, have a plan. WHO in the hell couldn’t sell the MF Accomplishments & win over a 34 time convicted Felon who isn’t even allowed to operate businesses in the state of NY (and therefore should automatically be disallowed from say running the country) & his ENTIRE team IS project 2025?! Joe wasn’t the problem… dems were,” Crockett wrote on X.
She added: “I know one thing, I will only work for @KamalaHarris! If it’s anyone OTHER than her, enjoy campaign season… I hope all of my disenchanted colleagues are able to find some walking shoes and get to work because I WILL NOT!”
Crockett has been a strong advocate of President Biden in the weeks following his poor debate performance with former President Trump. She criticized her fellow Democrats after the debate, expressing frustration that they tend to “get into a frenzy.” Crockett reaffirmed her support for Biden earlier this month, urging unity behind the Biden-Harris ticket.
Following Biden’s announcement that he would be withdrawing from the presidential race, he endorsed Vice President Harris as his preferred successor. Some Democrats have already rallied behind Harris in response to Biden’s endorsement. The vice president expressed her gratitude for Biden’s support, stating that she is committed to “earning and winning” the Democratic presidential nomination.
