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.

    That’s not her issue. It’s not why she’s struggling.

    Her issue is she’s an pro Israel, hollow corporatist. Her outrage is pure kayfabe.

      Ahh, I see. Now no matter what, Israel wins.

      It’s by design.

        Holy shit, it’s almost like politicians can’t hold office unless they bow down to the Zionist regime.

        It’s a sad day when /pol/ is right and reddit is wrong.

        I didn’t say she took money from Israel. I said she is objectively pro-israel in her voting record and that her outrage is manufactured.

        She got her start with Jonny Cochran.
