According to multiple reports, radical Rep.Jasmine Crockett has filed the paperwork to run for the Democratic primary for U.S. Senate in Texas. As we noted, the deadline to file today is 6pm, with Crockett set to make the official announcement at 4:30pm.
Governor Greg Abbott already weighed in this morning, saying that Crockett is going to get "crushed", and Texas Attorney General Paxton just issued a statement:
“Crazy Jasmine Crockett is going to lose by double digits in the general, but John Cornyn has ALREADY—nearly six months out from the runoff—stolen $40 million that should have gone to Senate races in Georgia, NC, Michigan, etc. Even after lighting all that money on fire he's still so unpopular in Texas that he's in third place in the primary, unless of course he's paying for the poll. The bottom line is that John Cornyn wants to sacrifice the GOP Senate Majority by spending $100M on his losing primary race. It's beyond selfish, but that's just who he is.”
The announcement is likely extremely upsetting for John Cornyn, who counts Jasmine Crockett as one of his best friends. Cornyn even went so far as to call Jasmine Crockett his “dance partner.”
