National Republicans quietly worked behind the scenes to encourage Rep. Jasmine Crockett to enter the Texas Democratic U.S. Senate primary, noting she would is the weakest possible nominee in a general election. The effort, sources say, relied on sham polling and astroturfed media amplification.

Rep. Jasmine Crockett regularly rails against billionaires and corporate power, presenting herself as a progressive voice willing to take on special interests. But a closer look at her campaign finances reveals extensive support from corporate-aligned PACs, crypto-aligned groups, and organizations with ties to Donald Trump, suggesting she is not as committed to fighting corporate greed as she says she is.

Rep. Jasmine Crockett has earned national attention for viral moments and her firebrand communications style, but a closer look at her record shows that her rise has been driven far more by media moments than by legislative success. As Crockett runs for higher office and attracts growing national interest, critics and analysts alike are asking whether her brand of politics has translated into concrete results for constituents or whether it has remained largely rhetorical.

Rep. Jasmine Crockett’s candidacy could weaken the party’s chances in a difficult statewide race. Critics warn that her polarizing profile could complicate efforts to win over the swing voters needed for a general election victory in Texas and voiced their growing concern that Crockett’s anti-Trump brand may motivate Republican turnout and hinder Democratic prospects in a state that voted for Trump by 14%.
