Rep. Jasmine Crockett said she was unsure whether James Talarico could turn Texas blue, citing a lack of investment by national party committees. Twitchy highlighted criticism of her remarks from other Democrats and social media users.
Crockett said she does not rely on polls because she believes they have historically overstated Democrats’ prospects in Texas.

She said she might start assessing races to help later in the fall.
