15. I really wish she would switch to running for something else

Thursday

I love both Jasmine Crockett and James Talarico, but he was already established and running for that senate seat and had a strong following when she jumped in at the last second.

If she were running for some other statewide office, we would have both of them running side by side, getting all that democratic energy out to the polls. That's what we need. Is it too late for her to switch to running for a house seat?
