Jasmine Crockett Considers Senate Run in Texas
Representative Jasmine Crockett, a Democrat from Texas, is “seriously weighing” a bid for the U.S. Senate. Recent polls indicate she could be a frontrunner in the Democratic primary.
Democrats Face Challenging Senate Landscape
With Republicans holding a 53-47 majority in the Senate, Democrats are struggling to secure enough seats in the upcoming elections. They are focusing on conservative states like Texas, where a competitive race seems possible according to polls.
Key Senate Races and Opportunities
- Maine, a state that supported former Vice President Kamala Harris by about seven points, and North Carolina, which backed President Donald Trump by about three points, represent prime targets for Democrats to flip seats.
- No other Republican-held seats in close Trump or Harris states are up for reelection next year, pushing Democrats to compete in states like Texas for control of the chamber.
Crockett’s Impact on the Democratic Primary
If Crockett runs, she would shake up a primary already crowded with well-known lawmakers seeking the nomination. Elected to the House in 2022, she has gained attention for her strong opposition to President Donald Trump and other Republicans.
Former Vice President Kamala Harris described Crockett as a Democrat who is “authentic” when discussing the future leadership of the party.
Campaign Contact
Newsweek reached out to Crockett’s campaign and office for comment via email.
Author's summary: Jasmine Crockett is considering a Senate run in Texas, potentially stirring a competitive Democratic primary amid a challenging national landscape for Senate control.
