Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas) said any voter, regardless of party affiliation, is welcome to support her campaign to be one of the Lone Star State’s senators.

“I’m a Texan, and so at the end of the day, I think people are trying to say it has to be one [party] or the other, and I believe it has to be both. I think that we’re going to see frustration. We’re going to see people that are regretting that they voted for Trump. And those people are absolutely welcome in our campaign,” Crockett said during an interview on MS NOW on Saturday.

“My attitude is we need to focus on what matters most to Texans. I can tell you that our farmers and ranchers, they’ve already been feeling the heat before Trump got in there, because the Republicans would not allow for a farm bill to be passed out of the House. He’s only exacerbated their problems. And that’s why there’s record numbers of bankruptcies that are being filed right now,” she continued.

Crockett’s desire to garner voters from both sides comes after announcing her bid for the upper chamber last week, challenging Texas State Rep. James Talarico. He, like Crockett, is a rising star in the Democratic Party. Just before Crockett announced her run, former Rep. Colin Allred (D) dropped out of the Senate race in favor of running for a House seat.

1. To say otherwise would be ridiculous

We need resounding wins.

Jasmine Crockett speaks the truth and present FACTS in a manner people can understand them.

John Cornyn will have a very difficult time telling people that Trump has their best interest at heart. The voters are wising up and seeing not all is well in MAGAland. Jasmine Crockett is breaking through that glass facade.

6. Cornyn is not the presumptive nominee

He will have to get through a difficult primary with Ken Paxton

8. Either one, Jasmine will chew the MAGAt up and spit him out without missing a beat.

She knows how to play rough.

3. Yes, come on in....but don't trust them enough to allow them power.

4. Smart move.

5. This Texas Dem is not exactly happy with her. We did not need her to cause us to have to decide who to

nominate. Two great candidate but one will be eliminated. We do not have enough people for this to happen.

7. I hope one of them

Can stop Paxton. He is a nightmare.

9. I wish she (or Talarico or Alred) would have run as Gov or Lt Gov instead

Our talent seems to have pooled around that Senate seat, limiting what our pickup chances in ‘26. I know they have access to better data than us, but unless one of the candidates has huge coattails or the Republican brand is so shot by November that not even Elon’s billions can save it then we have kind of boxed ourselves in. Who’s running for AG by the way?

10. In a way, it's a good problem to have.

Jasmine Crockett isn't just a rising star, she is a Super Star and the sooner she gets into a high profile race of National importance, the better it is for the Democratic Party, Texas and the Nation. A strong primary race will capture media attention and provide momentum for the election.

11. A wise strategy on her part.

12. They always want a Dem when their backs are to the wall. Once they fix it *POOF*

back to voting for Republicans.
