Crockett was reportedly the GOP’s preferred opponent in the 2026 Senate elections in Texas, but had not been considered as a potential contender in the race by her own party
The Republican Party allegedly promoted favorable polls about Representative Jasmine Crockett as part of a plan to goad the outspoken Democrat into running for the Senate.
Crockett was reportedly the GOP’s preferred opponent in the 2026 race in Texas, but had not been considered as a potential contender in the race by her fellow Democrats.
That prompted Senate Republicans to disseminate a poll in July suggesting that she would be the frontrunner in the Democratic primary.
“When we saw the results, we were like, ‘OK, we got to disseminate this far and wide,’” a source familiar with the plan told NOTUS.
It makes sense that political consultants would want to run against a woman of color in deep red state. I really hope it backfires on the and she wins.
That’s not her issue. It’s not why she’s struggling.
Her issue is she’s an pro Israel, hollow corporatist. Her outrage is pure kayfabe.
The outrage and anger and clap backs, that’s the only reason she’s still in this race. People eat that shit up even though she’s about as empty as Mayo Pete when it comes to substance.
And that’s the difference. Talarico has substance.
Fuck! Are you sure?

Looks like no money from AIPAC (yet) but she is pro-israel.
I didn’t say she took money from Israel. I said she is objectively pro-israel in her voting record and that her outrage is manufactured.
She got her start with Jonny Cochran.
Talarico is also pro-israel
Nah she sucks, just a louder, more Internet drama poisoned version of the other corporate conservatives in the party. Talarico is a proper progressive, anti corporate, anti genocide candidate.
Doubt she will win the primaries.
I like how she’s willing to fight back. Democrats desperately need non-corporate candidates that are willing to fight.
She’s an annoying loud black lady like Kamala (to independent white voters), so she won’t get too far which is a shame. Racism and sexism is too pervasive in this country still.
Annoying and loud are not real issues with the voters you’re mentioning. It’s really just her being a black lady that upsets them.
It’s kind of like the “economic anxiety” that Trump voters claimed was their reason for why they support him. It’s really just the racism.
When these voters see some AI slop video calling her a DEI and black fatigue demagogue, it won’t take much for them to not vote for her.
