Newsweek shared:
Democrats are facing tough math in next year’s Senate elections, forcing them to turn to conservative states like Texas to win a majority next year.
Republicans currently hold a 53-47 majority, and Democrats view GOP-held seats in Maine—which backed former Vice President Kamala Harris by about seven points—and North Carolina—which supported President Donald Trump by about three points—as their top opportunities to flip.
But no other Republican senator seat in Harris-won or single-digit Trump seats are up for reelection next year, meaning Democrats must compete in states like Texas, where polls point to a potentially competitive race, to have a chance at winning control of the chamber. Crockett’s potential candidacy would shake up the Democratic primary, where several prominent lawmakers are already vying for the nomination.
Crockett, first elected to the U.S. House of Representatives in 2022, has garnered national attention for her opposition to President Donald Trump and other Republicans. Former Vice President Kamala Harris named her as a Democrat who is “authentic” when discussing future leadership of the party.
“I am seriously weighing it, to the extent that I’m about to spend a lot of money to get data,” Crockett recently told POLITICO’s Dasha Burns, according to the outlet.

More from POLITICO:
Crockett said she’s had “multiple conversations” with someone she’d potentially tap to lead her campaign, without naming them. She said they discussed her chances in a general election against the field of Republicans in the primary, noting that Cornyn would be a stronger challenge than Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton and Rep. Wesley Hunt.
“I’m going to be flat out with you and tell you that I don’t think that there’s a Democrat that can take out Cornyn,” she said. “For me, I would be making a very last-minute decision because it’s not just about winning the primary. You gotta win the general.”
If Crockett does jump into the race, she’d join state Rep. James Talarico and former Rep. Colin Allred in the Democratic primary. Former Reps. Beto O’Rourke and Joaquin Castro have also left the door open to Senate bids in a race that Democrats will likely need to win to maintain a chance of regaining control of the Senate.
Crockett said she hopes that “by the time we start spending money” in the race, voters will know enough about her to get behind her brand of politics, which she defined as aggressively fighting for “vulnerable” people.
