Rep. Jasmine Crockett Enters Democratic Primary for U.S. Senate, Shaking Up Texas Race
U.S. Representative Jasmine Crockett from Dallas has officially entered the Democratic primary for the U.S. Senate in Texas. Her entry into the race comes after months of speculation and positions her as a significant contender due to her high-profile presence and fundraising capabilities. Crockett, known for her viral confrontations with Republicans, joins a field that includes Austin State Representative James Talarico. Her decision was influenced by the recent withdrawal of Colin Allred from the race, which has reshaped the Democratic field. Crockett's campaign is bolstered by her substantial social media following and a strong fundraising base, with $4.6 million in cash on hand. Despite joining the race later than her competitors, Crockett's internal polling suggests she has a viable path to victory, although no public polls have yet shown her leading against potential Republican opponents.
