Jasmine Crockett Shuts Down Joe Manchin's Biggest Gripe About Kamala Harris [View all]

Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas) emphasized that she’s backing Kamala Harris in November, even if other lawmakers challenge the vice president’s campaign.

“So this idea of throwing out Joe Manchin and all these other people. Listen, if you all decide to go any other way, have fun with that,” Crockett told MSNBC’s Joy Reid on Sunday. “But the only person that I will get out there and break my back for and campaign for and believe in who is capable and qualified is Vice President Kamala Harris.”

Crockett responded to reports that Sen. Joe Manchin (I-W.Va.), who registered to become an independent after he left the Democratic party in May, is considering re-registering as a Democrat and battling Harris for the nomination.

Manchin, who is not running for re-election and is set to retire from the Senate this year, has backed the idea of an “open primary” to decide on a Biden replacement.
