A number of Democrats running for U.S. Senate have been continuing to distance themselves from Vice President Kamala Harris and her bid for the presidency just weeks out from the election as polling continues to tighten between her and former President Donald Trump.

Democrats such as Texas Rep. Colin Allred, Ohio Sen. Sherrod Brown and Montana Sen. Jon Tester, who are all running for U.S. Senate, have been largely quiet about Harris’s bid for President or have even skipped campaign events for Harris in their own states.

Allred, who is running as a “moderate” against Texas Republican Sen. Ted Cruz, appears to be trying to keep Harris at an arms length, as he did not appear with Harris during any of the half dozen times she visited the state around July and the beginning of August. Allred’s first endorsement of Harris, which came from his account on Twitter, was “cautious and unclear” as he focused primarily on the legacy of Biden, according to The Texas Tribune.

During Allred and Cruz’s debate on Tuesday, the Democrat did not mention Harris’s name once, despite Cruz arguing that Colin Allred’s record is identical to Kamala Harris’s.

In Texas a Morning Consult poll conducted between Oct. 6 and Oct. 15 shows Harris polling at 46% and Allred polling at 45%.

Macarena Martinez, Cruz campaign spokeswoman, told the Daily Caller: “Make no mistake: Colin Allred is Kamala Harris. Just like her, he supports boys competing in girls’ sports, open borders, leniency for criminals, and waging war on American energy. It’s long been said that as Texas goes, so goes the nation and a Senator Colin Allred would destroy our State and Country as we know it.”

Tester, on the other hand, has completely refused to endorse Harris for President, despite recruiting her to run for the U.S. Senate as chairman of the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee (DSCC) in 2015. Tester has said his vote will be private and has thanked President Joe Biden for his public service and for endorsing an open nomination process.

“That’s between me and the ballot box,” Tester said earlier in October after being asked if he would vote for Harris.

In Montana, a New York Times poll conducted from Oct. 5 through Oct. 8 shows Harris polling at 40% in the state compared to Tester who is polling at 44%.

Brown, who is in a tight race in Ohio, has not yet campaigned with Harris and refused to say in July whether he would campaign with her, insisting their races were separate. (RELATED: Kamala Close With Dem Who Tried To Make Child Porn Possession A Non-Felony)

“I have not thought that through. I endorsed the vice president. But my job is my job. My focus lies in me fighting for Ohio and not who’s running for president,” Brown said in response to a question about campaigning with Harris.

In August, Brown said that he and Kamala Harris have their own schedules, and his focus is on his race.

“I don’t — I have not — I mean, I have not. I’ve got my own schedule. She’s got her own schedule. I will focus on my race. My strategy is perhaps different from her,” Brown said after being asked if he would campaign with Harris if she came to Ohio.

An Ohio Morning Consult poll conducted from Oct. 6 through Oct. 15 shows Harris polling at 45% compared to Brown, who is polling at 46%.

“All of these Democrats rushed out of the gate to endorse Kamala Harris and have voted with her 100% of the time, so it is funny that they are now trying to create distance from her,” National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) Communications Director Mike Berg told the Daily Caller.

The Caller contacted Allred, Tester and Brown’s offices about their lack of support for Harris, to which they did not immediately respond.
