TX-SEN: Crockett weighing Texas Senate run [View all]

[RandySF]

Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas) is “strongly” considering running for Senate, she said on Wednesday, raising the prospect of adding yet another marquee name to what is already a crowded Democratic primary.

Crockett cited the Republican-led remap of the state’s congressional districts earlier this year as a reason she might seek higher office in an interview on SiriusXM’s “The Lurie Daniel Favors Show.”

“I am looking,” she said. “Because if you want to take my seat of 766,000 away, I feel like there has to be some karma in that to where I take your seat that is for 30 million away.”

Crockett has emerged as a prominent — and sometimes profane — critic of President Donald Trump and Republicans since first winning election in 2022. She ran for her party’s top post on the House Oversight Committee in the summer, assailed Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene’s “bleach blonde, bad built, butch body” and drew criticism for referring to Texas Gov. Greg Abbott, who uses a wheelchair, as “Governor Hot Wheels.”
