Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett of Texas is seriously weighing a campaign for the U.S. Senate seat currently held by John Cornyn, according to sources speaking to FOX 4 News in Dallas.
Recent statewide polling indicates Crockett may hold an early lead in the Democratic primary against former U.S. Representative James Talarico and others. On the Republican side, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton is narrowly ahead of incumbent Senator John Cornyn for the nomination.
In a mid-October interview with FOX News, Crockett said she would make her decision regarding the Senate bid after court rulings on new congressional district maps and further analysis of polling data.
“I’m still waiting for a final ruling on the new Texas Congressional District maps,” Crockett said, indicating uncertainty due to the ongoing legal process.
The recent redistricting aims to establish five new Republican seats in the U.S. House and could alter Crockett’s current district if the court sides with that plan.
The changes to the Texas Congressional Districts may affect Crockett's electoral landscape depending on upcoming court decisions.
“Recent polling shows Crockett with a potential early lead in the crowded Democratic primary for Senate,” sources reported.
Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett was pictured speaking at a "Yes On Prop 50" volunteer event on November 1, 2025, at the LA Convention Center in Los Angeles, California.
