Texas Democrat Jasmine Crockett Weighs Senate Run
Jasmine Crockett, a Democratic congresswoman from Texas, has revealed she is seriously considering a run for the U.S. Senate. In a recent interview with Politico’s “The Conversation,” Crockett shared her approach to the decision.
“I’m seriously weighing it to the extent that I’m about to spend a lot of money to get data. So I’m a data-driven person. I will tell you that I personally believe that Texas needs to do something different if they wanted different results. That’s just the bottom line.”
No Democrat has won a Texas Senate seat since 1988. Incumbent John Cornyn is seeking reelection next year for a fifth term. Crockett emphasized that her campaign decision will come late, as the Democratic nominee must also win the general election.
“I’mma be flat-out with you and tell you that I don’t think that there’s a Democrat that can take out Cornyn.”
She also noted that the National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) is reportedly investing heavily in Cornyn's primary campaign to secure his victory, although this has not been independently verified. The NRSC did not respond to inquiries about their spending before the article was published.
Summary
Jasmine Crockett considers a Texas Senate bid, emphasizing data-driven decisions, while doubting that any Democrat can currently defeat incumbent John Cornyn.
