Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas) launched her bid for the U.S. Senate on Dec. 8, entering the race to unseat Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas). The announcement came the same day that former U.S. Rep. Colin Allred, the 2024 Democratic nominee, ended his campaign and said he would run for a U.S. House seat in the recently redrawn 33rd Congressional District.
Crockett announced her campaign at a rally Monday afternoon. A video posted on her X account the same day showed her on screen while audio clips of President Donald Trump played in the background. In the montage, he called her “the new star of the Democrat party” and “a very low IQ person,” before she smiled in the video, which then directed viewers to a donation page.
