25. She is not going to win

Wed Feb 25, 2026, 04:49 PM

Wednesday

and by entering the race at the last second against a strong candidate who genuinely could win, she has potentially ruined any chance Texas has at that seat. Crockett should have stuck to her House seat. If her argument was that she couldn't win her House seat because it got gerrymandered then she has zero business running for a statewide race in Texas because no way can she win in ruby red Texas where she will have to pick up conservative votes, if she can't even win in her own House district.
