Abbott predicts doom for Crockett if she enters Texas Senate race

Gov. Greg Abbott (R-TX) all but encouraged Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) to enter the race for a Texas Senate seat up for grabs in 2026, predicting that she will get “pummeled” by whoever manages to secure the Republican nomination.

Crockett, who just entered the House two years ago, has been weighing a last-minute run for a seat currently held by Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX). The deadline is Monday, and she recently told CNN she will make her decision at an event “early that day.”
