Texas Rep. Jasmine Crockett tears up talking about Harris
Texas Rep. Jasmine Crockett teared up while recalling her first meeting with Harris after getting elected to Congress.
Crockett said she wasn't sure she made the right decision running for office, referring to the "Chaos Caucus," when she met Harris for an official photo.
"As I approached Vice President Harris for our official photo, she turned to me and asked, 'What's wrong?' Mind you, we'd never met, but she saw right through me," Crocket said. "She saw the distress. I immediately began crying."

Crockett paused to wipe her tears, saying "It's so hard for me to tell this story," before continuing.
"She then said, among other things, 'You are exactly where God wants you. Your district chose you because they believe in you. And so do I,'" Crockett said.
Crockett said that moment gave her her "legislative legs, and I've been running ever since."
