Crockett's Senate Bid Shakes Up Texas Democratic Race

Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett is poised to enter the Texas Democratic Senate primary, potentially transforming the 2026 election. Her entry could make this the most expensive and anticipated Texas Senate race since 2018. Crockett, who took over for the late Eddie Bernice Johnson in 2022, has already informed potential rivals Colin Allred and James Talarico of her possible bid. This move could significantly impact the race, as both Allred and Talarico have been campaigning for some time. If Crockett decides not to seek re-election to the House, it would also affect other congressional races. Her entry could expand the Democratic voter base but also attract Republican support due to her polarizing figure.
