Highlight:

Can Crockett hold her seat in the House? I hope so. [View all] OAITW r.2.0 Mar 3 OP

Filing deadline already passed I believe SSJVegeta Mar 3 #1

She's got a national future, regardless of how this works out. OAITW r.2.0 Mar 3 #6

I'm not so hopeful SSJVegeta Mar 3 #7

Yes, but in the media, and likely not elected politics. Celerity Mar 4 #30

I was wondering about that too! Enter stage left Mar 3 #2

No. She could only file for one race. She chose senate. Texas had a primary for every partisan seat yesterday. . LeftInTX Mar 4 #23

I thought you could run for two seats in texas...lloyd Benson was on for VP and senator JT45242 Mar 4 #39

Senators only run for office every six years. It's not unusual for them to run for higher office on off years. LeftInTX Mar 4 #46

In 1988 he was on the ballot for both Senate and VP (double checked) JT45242 Mar 4 #47

VP is an appointed position. LBJ did not participate in a 1960 presidential primary. LeftInTX Mar 4 #49

I wondered this too, especially after we lost Katie Porter Deuxcents Mar 3 #3

And I hate that we lost Katie and might lose Jasmine. Marie Marie Mar 4 #14

No. ananda Mar 3 #4

No, she forfeits her seat to run. Coventina Mar 3 #5

I want her to be Talarico's chief of staff. Frasier Balzov Mar 3 #8

That's not going to happen MichMan Mar 3 #9

I agree!!! LeftInTX Mar 4 #24

So she should go from being an elected member of Congress niyad Mar 4 #18

I mean if Talarico wins the nomination. Frasier Balzov Mar 4 #20

no way in hell is that going to happen Skittles Mar 4 #26

I just Hope the Very Best for Jasmine Crockett's Cha Mar 4 #37

I don't see that happening pinkstarburst Mar 4 #41

I think she was redistricted out. Orangepeel Mar 4 #10

Correct H2O Man Mar 4 #12

Perhaps she can run as an independent MichMan Mar 4 #11

No, Texas has a reasonable strong Sore Loser election law Brother Buzz Mar 4 #15

I wish every state did MichMan Mar 4 #16

I did not know this! LeftInTX Mar 4 #25

No spoilers, Democrats have no business being sore losers. Pisces Mar 4 #17

Absolutely not. Why in the world should the vote be divided in a state where Dems haven't won a senate seat in decades? themaguffin Mar 4 #42

Even if she ran as an Independent it would only split our vote and hand the seat to the GOP. Towlie Mar 4 #45

She's out. Re-districting took her seat. Melon Mar 4 #13

No, Crockett was gerrymandered out of her seat LetMyPeopleVote Mar 4 #19

No, the primary was today karynnj Mar 4 #21

That's it for Crockett Witnessof Trump Mar 4 #22

MS NOW contract inbound for January 2027.... Celerity Mar 4 #27

Yep Witnessof Trump Mar 4 #29

Candidate for President in 2028 or VP Pick ? thought crime Mar 4 #33

I doubt either. She may run for POTUS in 2028, but will have little chance (IMHO) of winning the Dem nomination. Celerity Mar 4 #36

Good analysis; you're probably right as usual. thought crime Mar 4 #43

IMHO Crockett should have run for re-election in either her current district (TX-30) or where her home is now drawn (TX- Celerity Mar 4 #44

I agree with you AZProgressive Mar 4 #50

I wouldn't bet on that. I doubt she's done with oasis Mar 4 #28

LOL Skittles Mar 4 #31

Bra.. Witnessof Trump Mar 4 #32

it would appear to be the GOP who LOST Skittles Mar 4 #34

Ok Witnessof Trump Mar 4 #35

Oh Jasmine Crockett Will BE Seen Again. Cha Mar 4 #38

Sounds serious Torchlight Mar 4 #48

She remains in her current seat through the end of the year. Wiz Imp Mar 4 #40
