Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) declined to rule out a run for the Senate in Texas after a poll reportedly showed her leading among Democrats.

In a video posted to Instagram this week, Crockett said she had not decided on a run for the U.S. Senate.

"There have been a lot of questions about what's gonna happen in the Senate race in Texas," the lawmaker explained. "There have been two different polls that have come out that have somehow thrown my name into them. And one of them was released today that the Republicans put into the field, the Republican Senate Committee, allegedly."

"And allegedly it has me as topping the field for the Senate," she continued. "Listen, I have been so busy in the House. Because that's where I am, that's been my focus. You know, depending on how many people reach out will determine if there's something to actually consider."

"But as of now, I am proudly serving Texas's 30th Congressional district."

According to the Republican poll, Crockett leads in a hypothetical primary with 35% of likely Democratic voters. Rep. Colin Allred (D-TX) had the support of 20% of Texas Democrats, according to the survey.
