REPORT: Jasmine Crockett Floats Run For Senate

According to new polling data, Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) is the preferred candidate among voters in her state for a Senate bid in 2026. The controversial congresswoman currently leads a hypothetical field of candidates with 35 percent. Following behind her is Rep. Colin Allred with 20 percent, and failed presidential candidate Beto O’Rourke and Rep. Joaquin Castro, tied at 13 percent.

Only 18 percent of voters said they weren’t sure who they’d want to face off against the winner of the GOP’s hotly contested primary race. Senator John Cornyn, who is seeking his fifth term, is facing a challenge from Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton.

Polling was conducted by the National Republican Senatorial Committee, the campaign arm of Senate Republicans.

“The multimodal survey of 566 likely Democratic primary voters was conducted between July 4 and 7. Though Crockett is leading the field well outside the poll’s margin of error of plus or minus 3.03%, the liberal firebrand has not signaled that she is considering a run for the upper chamber,” The Daily Caller reported. “Crockett has emerged as one of the leading voices in the party as Democrats fight over the best approach back to power. She frequently draws controversy through her inflammatory remarks and has referred to Trump supporters as mentally ill.”

Allred is the only well-known candidate in the race at the moment. However, he’s plagued by his failed attempt to unseat Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) last year. He ultimately wasted tens of millions of dollars on that effort.

Spokespersons representing Crockett and Allred did not respond when asked to comment on the poll.

While nothing has been made official, both Castro and O’Rourke, who have failed in past political endeavors, are currently mulling over runs. The deadline to enter the primary is the first week of December.

Part of the purpose of the poll, which is part of a bigger operation in a total of five battleground states, is to determine if Senate Republicans can defend and possibly expand the 53-seat majority they hold during the midterms next year.

While the five states have not yet settled the primary field, many of the harshest, more extreme left-wing candidates in the Democratic Party are currently leading or within striking distance of the frontrunner for their party.

Disturbingly, the survey also found that almost a quarter of likely Democratic primary voters said they believe the Constitution should be “replaced or fundamentally changed.”
