Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett officially filed to run for the U.S. Senate from Texas on December 8, 2025, jumping into a high-stakes race to try to unseat longtime Republican Sen. John Cornyn. Her entry came at the last minute and instantly turned a potential Democratic long-shot into a national spectacle, drawing headlines and predictable partisan fireworks.
Her launch played more like a left-wing rally than a serious statewide pitch — a video montage of President Trump’s criticisms, fiery rhetoric about being “seen as a threat,” and bold promises that this campaign is “about winning” rather than governing. Crockett leaned hard into identity and grievance in front of supporters, signaling she plans to energize her base instead of building the broad coalition needed to carry Texas.
Then came the candid confession that should have stopped the campaign in its tracks for any candidate hoping to win statewide in Texas: in a CNN interview Crockett admitted that converting Trump voters “isn’t our goal” and flatly said, “No, we don’t, we don’t need to.” For a Democrat running in a state that voted for President Trump, that’s not confidence — it’s political malpractice and proof the campaign is playing to the woke echo chamber.
Let’s be blunt: Texas remains a conservative, pro-freedom state where Republicans have held the advantage for decades, and Democrats haven’t won a U.S. Senate race here since 1988. Donald Trump carried the state last year, and any Democrat who treats Trump supporters as expendable is admitting she doesn’t understand the political math or the people who pay the bills and raise their families across this great state. Crockett’s messaging hands Republican operatives a ready-made attack — and voters notice when a candidate writes off millions of neighbors.
This isn’t just about one soundbite; it’s about the substance behind the spectacle. Crockett’s rise has been fueled by national optics and headline-grabbing moments in D.C., not by a record of delivering results for rural hospitals, border security, or the struggling small towns that make Texas work. Conservatives are right to call out the grift and the performative outrage — electability matters, and Texans don’t reward career virtue-signaling with statewide victories.
If Republicans want to keep this seat red, the lesson is clear: don’t take anything for granted, and keep reminding voters why conservative principles of low taxes, secure borders, and law and order make their lives better. Jasmine Crockett’s press-event theatrics and refusal to engage with Trump voters give Texas conservatives a clear opening to frame her as out-of-touch and out of step with everyday Texans. It’s time to turn that opening into a strong, positive message about opportunity, faith, and common-sense governance that actually serves the people.
