Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) may soon shake up her own party \u2014 and delight Republicans \u2014 with a possible run for higher office.<\/p>\n

According to a report from Axios, Crockett told SiriusXM radio on Wednesday that she is \u201cstrongly considering\u201d entering the Democratic primary for U.S. Senate in Texas. She outlined several reasons she might join the race.<\/p>\n

One major factor, she acknowledged, is polling that indicates she would be the frontrunner for the Democratic nomination if she decides to run.<\/p>\n

\u201cEvery other day, there\u2019s a poll that comes out that makes it clear that I can win the primary for the U.S. Senate race in Texas,\u201d she\u00a0said<\/a>. \u201cAnd I am looking.\u201d<\/p>\n

Crockett also voiced frustration over the Texas Legislature\u2019s decision earlier this year to redraw congressional boundaries, breaking up her district in a move she said was intended to create additional Republican-leaning seats and help the GOP preserve its majority in Congress.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you want to take my seat of 766,000 away, I feel like there has to be some karma in that to where I take your seat that is for 30 million away,\u201d she said, likely referencing the population of Texas.<\/p>\n

Crockett said her ultimate decision on whether to enter the race will hinge on her ability to expand the electorate \u2014 either by energizing more Democratic voters to turn out or by finding a path to secure enough votes to win the nomination.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe question will be whether or not we believe that we\u2019ve got enough juice to expand the electorate,\u201d she said, per Axios. \u201cIf we can expand the electorate, then I will strongly be considering hopping in the Senate race.\u201d<\/p>\n

Polling data suggests Crockett could be a formidable contender for the Democratic nomination. A recent survey showed her leading the field with 31% support, placing her six points ahead of her nearest rival.<\/p>\n

If Crockett enters the race and secures her party\u2019s nomination, she would likely face one of several high-profile Republicans in the general election \u2014 including incumbent Sen. John Cornyn or Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton. Rep. Wesley Hunt has also announced his candidacy for the GOP nomination.<\/p>\n

A Crockett nomination would be a gift to the GOP. She\u2019s firmly planted on the radical left, and her record of incendiary, hostile rhetoric makes her an easy target. She\u2019s previously smeared President Trump as a \u201cwannabe Hitler\u201d and made a chilling comment that she \u201cdoesn\u2019t necessarily\u201d want her supporters to go out and hurt Republicans \u2014 language so reckless it undeniably opens the door to violence.<\/p>\n

This year she also lashed out at a reporter for simply asking about her violent remarks directed at Elon Musk and Tesla. For Republican opposition researchers, she\u2019s a dream: nominate her, and Democrats hand the GOP a walking political caricature to run against.<\/p>\n

Last month, President Donald Trump used an Oval Office media availability\u00a0to sharply criticize<\/a>\u00a0Crockett and Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) over their comments following the assassination of Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk.<\/p>\n

Trump accused both lawmakers of showing hostility toward conservatives and the United States itself, calling Crockett \u201clow-IQ\u201d and suggesting Omar should be \u201ctaken back\u201d by Somalia.<\/p>\n

Crockett drew conservative outrage after she voted against a House resolution condemning political violence and honoring Kirk, who was killed earlier this month while speaking in Utah.<\/p>\n

She argued that Kirk\u2019s rhetoric targeted minority communities and likened Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) raids to slave patrols. Crockett also claimed Kirk had spread \u201cignorant, uneducated\u201d beliefs that \u201csought to disenfranchise millions of Americans.\u201d<\/p>\n

Trump dismissed those remarks as baseless.<\/p>\n

\u201cJasmine, remember what I said? \u2026 She\u2019s a very low-IQ person. If we ever had to pass an aptitude test, that\u2019s the one who should take one because she shouldn\u2019t even be in [Congress],\u201d Trump told reporters in the Oval Office.<\/p>\n

\u201cBetween her and Ilman [Omar] and the group \u2026 I suggested [to Somalia\u2019s president] maybe he\u2019d like to take her back, and he said, \u2018I don\u2019t want her.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
