Jasmine Crockett eyeing revenge with potential Senate bid
by Lindsey Granger, opinion contributor - 10/23/25 2:04 PM ETJasmine Crockett isn’t just in the conversation — she is the conversation in Texas politics right now. She hasn’t even announced a Senate run, and she’s already leading the Democratic field. That’s not buzz — that’s leverage.
Crockett told SiriusXM’s “The Lurie Daniel Favors Show” that she “will strongly be considering” a run for U.S. Senate — and the motivation isn’t ego, it’s backlash. Texas Republicans pushed through a mid-cycle redistricting map that moved Democratic Rep. Jasmine Crockett out of her own district, and even though she says she and her team are waiting for the court to issue a final ruling on whether the new district lines will go into effect, Crockett isn’t exactly the “go quietly” type. As she put it:
“If you want to take my seat of 766,000 away, I feel like there has to be some karma in that to where I take your seat that is for 30 million away.”
This is not just a revenge tour. It’s strategy. Democratic voters — especially voters of color — are tired of polished speeches and poll-tested emotional restraint. Crockett built a national following by sounding like actual people do when they’re fed up. When Republicans tried to censure her earlier this year, it only boosted her authenticity. Beltway insiders heard “too brash.” Voters heard “finally, somebody fighting.”
