Jasmine Crockett officially launched her U.S. Senate bid in Texas, a move that followed Colin Allred's withdrawal to contest a U.S. House seat.Republicans, including John Cornyn and Greg Abbott, expressed optimism, viewing Crockett as an easier opponent due to her progressive agenda and confrontational style, which they believe alienates Donald Trump supporters.Many Democrats, however, privately voiced skepticism about Crockett's electability in a general election, as she faces James Talarico in the primary amid concerns about party dysfunction and the state's crucial Senate seat, a point highlighted by Joe Holley of the Houston Chronicle, who compared Crockett to Davy Crockett.
