<p>Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) is entering the heated race to represent the Lone Star State in the United States Senate after much deliberation.</p>
<p>Crockett filed last-minute paperwork to run in the Texas Democratic Primary in March and is expected to announce her bid later on Monday, <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/texas/news/jasmine-crockett-texas-senate-democratic-primary/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">CBS News</a> reported.</p>
<p>“It is hilarious to me that me saying that I will announce what I plan to do on 12/8, like I’ve been saying is scaring the heck out of so many people. The attacks are hilarious… note to those that don’t know how politics works… only the threat gets attacked,” the Democrat <a href="https://x.com/JasmineForUS/status/1996580581778370949">posted on X</a> last week.</p>
<p>“Again, my decision to go one way or another will be based upon facts &amp; not feelings… historical data, trends, etc,” she added. The 44-year-old congresswoman, who represents parts of the Dallas area, is considered a firebrand for her party as a vocal critic of President Donald Trump and a key surrogate on the 2024 campaign trail. Her entrance could potentially rally the Democratic base in the state and push her through the primary.</p>
<p>Earlier on Monday, former Rep. Colin Allred, who lost to Sen. Ted Cruz in 2024, dropped out of the race amid the speculation that Crockett would likely jump in.</p>
<p>“I am deeply moved by the personal stories and trust that so many Texans have placed in me. I’m forever grateful and believe it comes with heavy responsibility,” Allred <a href="https://x.com/ColinAllredTX/status/1998015894878830941">wrote</a> in an X post.</p>
<p>However, state Rep. James Talarico is standing firm in his bid for the Democratic nomination.</p>
<p>“We&#8217;re building a movement in Texas fueled by record-breaking grassroots fundraising and 10,000 volunteers who are putting in the work to defeat the billionaire mega-donors and puppet politicians who have taken over our state,” Talarico wrote in a Monday afternoon statement.</p>
<p>“Our movement is rooted in unity over division &#8211; so we welcome Congresswoman Crockett into this race,” he added.</p>
<p>The Republicans are duking it out for the nomination, as Sen. John Cornyn is facing off against Attorney General Ken Paxton and Rep. Wesley Hunt. None of the men has received Trump’s endorsement yet, as the race has largely centered on who would be best positioned to help the president execute his agenda during his last two years in office.</p>
<p>Republicans currently hold 53 seats in the Senate, and the battle for Congress will be critical in determining the political direction for the Trump administration and a key indicator headed into the 2028 presidential race. In Texas, Trump won the state handily in 2024, and the Cook Political Report considered the 2026 Senate race as “Likely Republican.”</p>
