Recent polling indicates that Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett may hold an early advantage in the competitive Democratic primary for the U.S. Senate seat currently held by Senator John Cornyn.
Statewide polls place Crockett slightly ahead of candidates such as former Representative James Talarico. The same surveys reveal that Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton maintains a narrow lead over Senator Cornyn in the Republican primary race.
In mid-October, Crockett said during a FOX News interview that she would decide after court rulings on new congressional maps and further polling analysis.
She appeared undecided during the interview, explaining that she awaited a final court ruling on Texas's newly proposed Congressional District maps before making her decision.
The recent redistricting proposal aims to add five Republican-leaning seats to the U.S. House. If upheld, it would alter the boundaries of Crockett’s current district and potentially reshape her political landscape.
On November 1, 2025, Crockett spoke at a "Yes On Prop 50" volunteer event at the Los Angeles Convention Center, continuing her visible engagement in public affairs beyond Texas.
