"The early coverage of this is that inside the Democrats, this is gonna be a battle between the left and the center. That's not gonna be the case. It is not left versus moderate. It is nutty versus not nutty. James Talarico, the other Democrat in the race, is as liberal as Jasmine Crockett is. It's just that he's not as nutty as she is."
"I think he's absolutely right about being unelectable. Is she better or worse than Beto O'Rourke? inquired Hemmer. Robert Francis O'Rourke, Rove clarified before answering: Look, I'm not certain she's gonna be the winner. That would be the only thing because look, Democrats are desperate to have a credible candidate. And over the course of the next three and a half months, she is gonna be seen as not really credible."
Jasmine Crockett entered the Texas Democratic primary for U.S. Senate, prompting Colin Allred to withdraw in the name of party unity while James Talarico remains in the race. Karl Rove challenged expectations that the contest is left versus center, framing it instead as 'nutty versus not nutty' and arguing Talarico and Crockett are equally liberal but differing in temperament. Rove characterized Crockett as having served one term in the Texas House, offering inflammatory statements to reporters and achieving little legislatively. Senator John Cornyn predicted she would win and called her unelectable; Rove agreed and questioned her credibility.
