US EditionCrockett weighing possible Texas Senate bid
Rep. Jasmine Crockett leads the Democratic primary with 31% support and may run for Senate due to GOP redistricting threatening her House seat.
- On Wednesday, Rep. Jasmine Crockett said she is strongly considering entering the U.S. Senate race in Texas while discussing the option on SiriusXM's The Lurie Daniel Favors Show.
- After Texas Republicans approved a new map, the Republican-led Texas legislature eliminated five Democratic-held seats and made Crockett's House district more competitive, prompting her to reconsider her political path.
- Crockett is testing efforts to expand turnout, reviewing cross tabs and demographic testing shortly to reach usual nonvoters and noting she can win the Democratic primary for U.S. Senate in Texas.
- Framing her move as 'karma,' Crockett says, 'If she enters, she would join a crowded Democratic field including former Rep. Colin Allred and State Rep. James Talarico, contrasting her 766,000-seat with a seat for 30 million away.'
- Earlier this month, Crockett used a derogatory nickname for President Donald Trump and faced criticism from Republican members of Congress.
