US EditionHouse Democrats Voice Concerns over Jasmine Crockett's Texas Senate Campaign Viability: Report
House Democrats worry Jasmine Crockett's strong base support may lack statewide appeal and risk losing a key Senate seat to Republicans, despite her frontrunner status in polls.
- On Monday, Jasmine Crockett launched her U.S. Senate bid after months of speculation, hours after Colin Allred withdrew, leaving Crockett and James Talarico as leading Democratic candidates.
- Amid a potential opening for Democrats in Texas, some House Democrats worry Jasmine Crockett’s base appeal may lack the statewide reach needed to win the Senate race.
- A NOTUS article alleging Senate Republicans nudged Jasmine Crockett into the race has circulated widely, while Rep. Becca Balint praised Crockett, saying `She understands rough and tumble Texas politics and can more than hold her own`.
- Some lawmakers say Crockett's bid risks down‑ballot vulnerability as many House Democrats view the GOP primary between Sen. John Cornyn and Ken Paxton as their best path to win, with several saying Crockett "doesn't give us a shot" even if Paxton is the nominee.
- With several competitive House races at stake, party officials are attentive as the Senate outcome could affect defending Vicente Gonzalez and Henry Cuellar and unseating Monica De La Cruz, while House members consider endorsements and Jasmine Crockett seeks to reach all 30 million Texans.
