"I am absolutely delighted that Jasmine Crockett is running for Senate in Texas. I think it's one of the greatest things to happen to the Republican Party in a long, long time. She is the face of the Democratic Party, she and Mamdani. Good luck with that."
"He invoked Mamdani's name. Last time I checked, he got elected. I mean, I don't understand why, I don't know where he was going. But again, okay, if it means I'm getting elected, I mean, what are we doing right now, right? Like he's like, Oh, another Mamdani.' I'm like, I'm sorry, he became the mayor over the president's choice.' I mean, I'm good with becoming the senator. And frankly, Texans will be better if I become the senator."
Mike Johnson mocked Jasmine Crockett's Texas Senate bid by comparing her to Zohran Mamdani and framed the candidacy as beneficial to Republicans by raising Democratic visibility. Johnson said he wants Crockett's voice amplified heading into 2026 while predicting Texas would elect another Republican senator. Crockett responded on X by turning the comparison into a compliment, noting Mamdani won election and saying she is fine with becoming senator. Crockett argued Texans would be better off if she became senator and rejected the notion that candidates must sound like Republicans to win.
