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.
No, you don’t get it. Democrats need robust primaries, it’s the only way to get robust candidates. We need to stop acting like anyone who gets elected once deserves that seat for life.
Every race should have a primary challenger!
I agree. It’s not like Crockett and Talarico are hurling mud at each other, they are very civil (so far). A primary where the candidates agree on the fundamentals and it’s just about who is going to better represent that in Washington seems like a great contest,one in which all participant can come out winners.
Talarico is letting LoneStar PAC hurl the mud at Crockett so he can play the “good Christian”. Their ads are shameful and gross.
It’s gonna be muddy this week. I promise. We 10 days out. We’re in the “smoke em if you gottem” phase if the primary.
