Rep. Jasmine Crockett announced that she will run for the U.S. Senate in Texas next year. She is set to face state Rep. James Talarico in the Democratic primary.
Crockett announced her Senate bid in Dallas on December 8, telling supporters, “What we need is for me to have a bigger voice.” Before her speech, she shared an ad showing President Donald Trump berating her, which the article says was reported by The New York Times. The article describes her as having strong polling numbers and viral moments.
The article says former House member Colin Allred dropped out of the Democratic primary to improve Democrats’ chances against the incumbent. It identifies Talarico as Crockett’s primary opponent and lists John Cornyn, Ken Paxton and Wesley Hunt among the Republicans running for the seat.
