Craig voted for the racist Laken Riley Act last year, and was the first battleground district Democratic member of Congress to call for Biden not to run in 2024.

In the 117th Congress, she voted in line with Joe Biden's stated position 100% of the time. Craig broke more frequently with the Biden administration in 2023, voting in line with the president's positions 70.6% of the time, the fourth-lowest rate of any House member in the Democratic caucus.

Craig has self-identified and been described as a centrist moderate Democrat. She co-chaired the centrist New Democrat Coalition. On February 1, 2023, Craig was one of 12 Democrats to vote for a resolution to end the COVID-19 national emergency.

In September 2024, the pro-Israel lobbying group AIPAC bundled more than $200,000 to her 2024 campaign and praised her "solid commitment" to the U.S.-Israel relationship. Craig was one of the 16 Democrats who voted with Republicans to stop the Biden administration from withholding military aid to Israel.

The pro-crypto Super PAC Fairshake spent more than $1.1 million to boost Craig's 2024 reelection campaign. It was the second-biggest spender in her district. Craig sits on the Agriculture Committee panel with jurisdiction over the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), which plays a role in regulating cryptocurrency. She earned the rating "strongly supports crypto" from the cryptocurrency advocacy group Stand With Crypto. Craig has said digital assets will have "a major role in the next wave of technological innovation globally".
