Jasmine Crockett Shakes Up Senate Race— But Is Texas Flippable? Dem State Chair Weighs In

Rep. Jasmine Crockett aims to unseat veteran Sen. John Cornyn amid a competitive primary and recent Texas map changes, emphasizing resistance to Trump-era Republicanism.

  • On Dec. 8, 2025, Rep. Jasmine Crockett announced a U.S. Senate bid in Dallas, filing for the Democratic primary on the last day and challenging incumbent Sen. John Cornyn.
  • Amid a U.S. Supreme Court ruling upholding Texas's maps, filing deadlines this week concentrated moves across Texas congressional delegation while Republican strategists and the NRSC seeded polls promoting Crockett.
  • At a Dallas event, Rep. Jasmine Crockett told supporters `You got to stay in the house. We need you there` and emphasized the need to `stop all the hell that is raining down on all of our people`, according to her remarks during her campaign launch.
  • Republicans seized on Crockett's filing Monday, arguing Democrats lack a statewide winner, as former U.S. Representative Colin Allred exited the Senate race to run in the redrawn 33rd congressional district.
  • The Texas primary calendar centers on March 3, 2026, as political analysts warn the new maps could flip three to five seats, intensifying statewide competitiveness and resource allocation.
