About
Jasmine Crockett is a Texas Democratic Senate candidate who gained national attention for her anti-Trump stance. She ran against James Talarico, a Presbyterian seminarian and pragmatic Democrat, in the primary election. Despite being seen as a rising star, Crockett lost to Talarico, who will now face off against Republicans John Cornyn and Ken Paxton in a May run-off. The outcome of the election has significant implications for the 2026 US midterm elections, with Democrats hoping to capitalize on Talarico's more electable message. Crockett's loss highlights the tension between progressive and pragmatic wings within the Democratic Party.
