Supreme Court’s Map Ruling Sends Texas Democrats Toward Potential Primaries, Retirement or Higher Office Bids
Jasmine Crockett leads a recent poll with 31% in the Texas Democratic Senate primary and is deciding on a run before the filing deadline, aiming to expand voter turnout.
- On Monday, U.S. Rep. Jasmine Crockett will make a 'special announcement' in Dallas at 4:30 p.m., roughly 90 minutes before the state filing deadline, after calling Colin Allred and James Talarico about her plans.
- Crockett has said she will run only if internal polling she commissioned shows she can expand the electorate, while her national profile and fundraising base have grown after less than four years in Congress.
- A poll conducted between late September and Oct. 1 found Crockett leading with 31%, Colin Allred at 13% with 6% unsure, while Crockett shares internal polling amid varied data exchange.
- Her expected entry has reshaped the Democratic primary and local plans, as Crockett’s Senate bid would clear the way for U.S. Rep. Marc Veasey to run in District 30 and U.S. Rep. Julie Johnson in District 33, though neither has filed yet.
- Strategists say her entry could expand turnout by appealing to infrequent voters, though some Republicans warn her popularity might boost GOP nominee support; campaign consultants and national funders prepare for increased spending.
