Jasmine Crockett heads to Virginia to stump in close House districts while spurning Talarico

Published Updated



Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) was in Virginia this week to campaign for Rep. Eugene Vindman (D-VA) in the Old Dominion’s 7th Congressional District as she stays off the Texas Senate campaign trail.

Crockett, who ran for Texas Senate in 2026 but fell in the heated Democratic primary to State Rep. James Talarico, backed Talarico in his race against Republican state Attorney General Ken Paxton, but has not yet campaigned with the Democratic Senate nominee in her home state. Instead, Crockett has campaigned for downballot U.S. House candidates in Texas and now hits out-of-state marginal districts, like Vindman’s.
