LOADING ERROR LOADINGWASHINGTON ― Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas) launched a bid for the U.S. Senate in Texas, according to multiple reports, shaking up the Democratic primary to unseat Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas) that already includes state Rep. James Talarico. In another bombshell move just hours earlier on Monday, Rep. Colin Allred (D-Texas) said he would be dropping out of the Senate race to run against Democratic Rep. Julie Johnson in a newly drawn House district in Texas. “She’s unelectable in Texas,” Cornyn predicted to HuffPost in October. The congresswoman told CNN that her ability to raise large sums of money and appeal to voters in Black and Latino communities could help Democrats flip the Texas Senate seat. “I’ve come to believe that a bruising Senate Democratic primary and runoff would prevent the Democratic Party from going into this critical election unified,” he wrote on Monday.
