Crockett was reportedly the GOP’s preferred opponent in the 2026 Senate elections in Texas, but had not been considered as a potential contender in the race by her own party
The Republican Party allegedly promoted favorable polls about Representative Jasmine Crockett as part of a plan to goad the outspoken Democrat into running for the Senate.
Crockett was reportedly the GOP’s preferred opponent in the 2026 race in Texas, but had not been considered as a potential contender in the race by her fellow Democrats.
That prompted Senate Republicans to disseminate a poll in July suggesting that she would be the frontrunner in the Democratic primary.
“When we saw the results, we were like, ‘OK, we got to disseminate this far and wide,’” a source familiar with the plan told NOTUS.
I agree. It’s not like Crockett and Talarico are hurling mud at each other, they are very civil (so far). A primary where the candidates agree on the fundamentals and it’s just about who is going to better represent that in Washington seems like a great contest,one in which all participant can come out winners.
The First Rule of Politics is Get Elected, and while I like Crockett, and I instinctively don’t trust any religious candidate, I recognize that a white Christian preacher man is much more likely to get elected in Texas than a loud black lady.
We need those Republican Senate seats to flip, even if they go to a Fetterman-type DINO. At least they’re Dems, and count toward a Dem majority.
That was always the only positive about Manchin. He was practically a Republican, but he gave the Dems a slim majority, and that’s incredibly important.
Talarico sounds pretty progressive, although as a religious freak, he will ultimately side with his mythology over the Constitution.
But we’ll cross that bridge when we come to it. Right now we have to crush and purge MAGA from our government and our society, and we need to take over both chambers of Congress to start, and he stands a pretty good chance at it.
Talarico is letting LoneStar PAC hurl the mud at Crockett so he can play the “good Christian”. Their ads are shameful and gross.
It’s gonna be muddy this week. I promise. We 10 days out. We’re in the “smoke em if you gottem” phase if the primary.
