'Closer to yes than I am no': Jasmine Crockett considers Texas U.S. Senate run - The Weekend - MS NOW
Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) joins “The Weekend” for a wide-ranging conversation on Trump’s intensified immigration crackdown, a recent field hearing conducted by congressional Democrats in Los Angeles on the effect of immigration raids, and Crockett’s potential bid for U.S. Senate.
Rep. Crockett calls out what she describes as the most violent, dehumanizing immigration agenda in modern American politics — and why communities across the country are living with the consequences. From U.S. citizens being detained without warrants, to diabetic patients denied basic medication, to families so terrified they’re pulling their kids out of school, she breaks down what’s really happening on the ground.
Crockett also zeroes in on Trump’s latest push to “denaturalize” Americans, why fear has become the centerpiece of his policy, and how dehumanization — whether aimed at immigrants, trans people, or communities of color — is always the first step toward something darker. She makes it plain: immigrants strengthen this country, and the cruelty isn’t accidental. It’s the point.
And as questions swirl in Texas, she confirms what the data now shows: she’s a serious contender if she enters the U.S. Senate race. But execution, coalition, and a statewide strategy will determine the final call — not pressure, not noise.
Rep. Crockett ends with the reminder many seem to forget: America’s strength has always come from who we choose to stand with, not who we’re told to fear. - Aired on 11/30/2025.

But for the moment (felon administration) we really need her right where she is since I cringe to imagine who could replace her. She really is doing amazing work - especially speaking out as she does. And whenever I listen to her, I feel like she's speaking for the majority of us. And she has plenty of time to seek higher office - which I'm confident she will and that she'll win.
