Texas Senate candidate James Talarico said Jasmine Crockett could "absolutely" win a statewide Texas race when pressed by Sunny Hostin on people questioning her chances.

When Democratic Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett of Dallas decided to run for U.S. Senate, it created an opening for the midterm election.

Jasmine Crockett is a two-term member of Congress and former state representative running for the Democratic nomination for U.S. Senate. She is well-known for her outspoken stance on issues. She is a progressive who said she's connecting with Texans across the state, in cities and the rural parts of Texas.

Jasmine Crockett is framing her candidacy as a challenge to long-held assumptions about who can win statewide in Texas.

Crockett called a recent independent poll showing her trailing fellow Democrat James Talarico by eight percentage points "deeply flawed."

Liberal commentator Roland Martin told Jamie Harrison on Tuesday that White progressives criticizing Rep. Jasmine Crockett, D-Texas, and her bid for Senate need to "sit their a-- down."

Progressives shouldn’t let a retrograde style of internet discourse inhibit them from pointing out the obvious.

At an event held in Houston, the congresswoman urged voters to mobilize and “show the full force of Black voices”
