The article reports that Texas Rep. Jasmine Crockett is running for the Senate and will face state Rep. James Talarico in the Democratic primary. Talarico welcomed her candidacy and expressed confidence in his campaign.

Paxton wrote that Crockett would be “soundly defeated,” while Cornyn shared an article describing her campaign as a potential “nightmare” for Democrats. The article also recalls Crockett’s earlier comments about assessing her chances and says the Texas primaries are scheduled for March, with the general election in November.
