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.
