Rep. Jasmine Crockett recently made headlines during an interview on CNN, launching a pointed critique of President Trump’s supporters as she officially kicked off her Senate campaign in Texas. This stance is risky in a state where Trump previously won by a commanding margin of 14 points. During her conversation with CNN’s Laura Coates, Crockett asserted, “I don’t know that we’ll necessarily convert all of Trump’s supporters. That’s not our goal.” This statement reflects a strategy where she seems unconcerned about appealing directly to the segment of the electorate aligned with Trump.
