""If you want to take my seat of 766,000 away, I feel like there has to be some karma in that to where I take your seat that is for 30 million away," Crockett said of a potential Senate run. "The question will be whether or not we believe that we've got enough juice to expand the electorate," she said. "If we can expand the electorate, then I will strongly be considering hopping in the Senate race.""
""Every other day there's a poll that comes out that makes it clear that I can win the primary for the U.S. Senate race in Texas," she said. A University of Houston/Texas Southern University poll released earlier this month found Crockett with support from 31% of likely Democratic primary voters. State Rep. James Talarico and former Rep. Beto O'Rourke each garnered 25% in the survey, while 13% went for former Rep. Colin Allred. O'Rourke hasn't announced a run."
Rep. Jasmine Crockett, a second-term lawmaker, is known on Capitol Hill for withering and often profane verbal clashes with Republicans at committee hearings. Republicans moved to censure Crockett in March for referring to wheelchair-bound Texas Gov. Greg Abbott as "Governor Hot Wheels." Crockett expressed interest in a U.S. Senate run while weighing options after Texas Republicans' mid-decade redistricting that would reduce Dallas' three House Democrats to two Democratic-leaning districts. A University of Houston/Texas Southern University poll showed Crockett with 31% support among likely Democratic primary voters, ahead of James Talarico and Beto O'Rourke at 25% and Colin Allred at 13%. Texas has become a top Senate target for Democrats amid a contentious GOP primary and a challenge to incumbent Sen. John Cornyn.
