Cardi B urges her 164 million Instagram followers to back Jasmine Crockett, who leads with 56% in Democratic primary polls amid a record $110 million spent in Texas Senate race.
- On Thursday, Cardi B, rapper Belcalis Marlenis Almánzar, posted a nearly-minute Instagram story urging Texas voters to back U.S. Representative Jasmine Crockett, which Crockett's campaign reposted.
- Attorney General Ken Paxton reacted on X by taking Nicki Minaj's side, declaring he is `team Nicki Minaj` amid the long-running feud dating back to 2017.
- Crockett's campaign reposted Cardi B's clip and highlighted celebrity support, including Kelly Rowland and Method Man, while Cardi B, on a sold-out tour, recorded and shared the endorsement.
- The race has topped more than $110 million in ad spending, with $26 million from the Democratic side and Talarico leading with $21.5 million, despite Crockett polling 56% to 44%.
- With the March 3 primary approaching, the celebrity endorsements have amplified national focus on the race, and if elected, Crockett would become the first African American U.S. senator from Texas.
