Rising Dem star 'strongly' considers Senate run after GOP redistricts her seat

Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) is "strongly" considering running for the Senate after Texas Republicans redistricted her House seat to make it more competitive for Republican candidates, according to a new report.

Politico reported on Wednesday that Crockett has not made a final decision, but has begun considering the opportunity since the Republican-led legislature in Texas passed a new election map that eliminated five Democratic-held seats. She made the comments on Wednesday during an interview on SiriusXM’s “The Lurie Daniel Favors Show.”

“I am looking,” she said. “Because 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 has come under fire from Republican members of Congress because of her often terse criticisms of President Donald Trump. Earlier this month, she called the president an "old white nepo baby" and a bully.

If she decides to enter the Senate race, Crockett will join a host of other Democrats. For instance, Rep. Collin Allred (D-TX) and Rep. James Talarico (D-TX) are also in the race.

“The question will be whether or not we believe that we’ve got enough juice to expand the electorate and looking at those cross tabs and looking at which demographics are more inclined to come out, who normally do not vote,” Crockett said. "If we can expand the electorate, then I will strongly be considering hopping in the Senate race.”
