In reply to the discussion: Can Crockett hold her seat in the House? I hope so. [View all]Frasier Balzov
(5,010 posts)20. I mean if Talarico wins the nomination.
If Crockett has lost, then what will be her visibility?
Will she campaign for him and be a media surrogate for him?
That would be great! But then what of her future after November?
If Talarico wins the seat, I think the offer should at least be made.
Whoever he might otherwise have in mind for the job can't possibly be as big help to him and the People of Texas as Jasmine Crockett would be.
Unless she litigates her primary loss and the two of them end up hating each other's guts.

No. She could only file for one race. She chose senate. Texas had a primary for every partisan seat yesterday. .

Senators only run for office every six years. It's not unusual for them to run for higher office on off years.

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

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

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