Jasmine Crockett Reveals Whether She Plans To Run For President
dailycaller.com ^ | 6/2/2025 | Jason Cohen

Democratic Texas Rep. Jasmine Crockett said on Sunday that she has no intention of running for president of the United States.

Crockett has risen to prominence with her racially-charged rants and incendiary anti-Republican attacks, including calling wheelchair-bound Texas Gov. Greg Abbott “Governor Hot Wheels.” On “Inside Texas Politics,” host Jason Whitely asserted Crockett’s name has appeared in 2028 polls and asked whether she has presidential aspirations, prompting Crockett to definitively answer, “No.” (RELATED: Dem Rep Thinks Potential Gov’t Shutdown Could Save Bureaucrats From Getting Booted By Trump Admin)

“What do you make of that then, your name showing up on this polling?” Whitely followed up.

“I think that people just have found a way to connect with me,” Crockett replied. “And I think, you know, there was a point in which people in the party — well, within parties, not within our specific party — felt like, ‘Oh, she’s black and she’s proud, so only black people will listen to her.’ And then it’s like, ‘Well, wait a minute, maybe just liberals will listen to her.’ And now it’s become clear as I have been out in various cities throughout this country where I’ve had Republicans walk up to me and tell me how much they like me.”

Crockett also made this claim on “The Jim Acosta Show” on Wednesday. Whitely did not appear to believe her, saying, “No, you haven’t. Are you serious?”

The congresswoman asserted she was being genuine, with Whitely still seeming unconvinced, saying, “Come on” and Crockett replying that he would “be surprised.”

Whitely also asked if Crockett had “aspirations” for “something bigger” heading into 2026 as candidates prepare to launch presidential bids.

Crockett reiterated that she does not, saying she is “a team player” and wants to help the Democrats regain control of the House in 2026 and the White House in 2028.

“Ultimately, wherever we get with the nominee, I wanna support in any way that I can,” she said. “So I’m gonna do my part. But, you know what, I don’t know that politics is really my place. It’s a different life.”

Crockett claimed she has received death threats and has to concern herself with security due to the hate directed at her, including from President Donald Trump. Trump has targeted Crockett, calling her “a low-IQ person” and mocking the idea that she could be a leader of the Democratic Party.

“I just don’t know that that’s really a life that I want to live for an extended amount of time, but I can tell you that I am so honored to have an opportunity to serve in the role that I serve in,” Crockett added. “And I will continue to serve so long as the people of Texas 30 give me this opportunity.”

On a March episode of “Inside Texas Politics” Crockett faced another question regarding a possible 2028 White House run. She said at the time that her “authentic” personality likely would preclude her from winning the presidency.

Pollster AtlasIntel found that former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg leads the field of potential 2028 Democratic presidential candidates, with 31.5% of Democrats selecting him as their favorite, Newsweek reported on Friday. Democratic New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez ranked second with 19.4%, followed by former Vice President Kamala Harris at 16.6%.

her lack of self awareness will be fun to watch as she thinks she is presidential material... and compared to what the dems have run before, she may be.

Crockpot came from a normal family and she was given a fine education and as we see, she can speak like an intelligent person.

So why has she devolved into a ghettopottamus thugette with an anti-American chip on her shoulder?

I think we should all contribute to her primary campaign.

I saw that title and quite literally just assumed it was the Bee. The fact that this is NOT satire is even funnier than it would have been if it was!

This woman makes Kamala Harriss look intelligible by comparison.

If the women of the View all had a baby together, it would be Rep Crockett.

She knows she would not get any primary votes. Not that Dems have a true primary.

Here’s one or 2 for you all:

The more radical the nominee the bigger our victory. Think McGovern-took them 4 years to correct it with a southern ‘conservative’ governor. Fast forward to ‘04 when cooler heads prevailed against Howard Dean. Did the same with Bernie(’16) using super delegates.

Perhaps the radicals are in need of that knockout punch that takes their party down with them. Just remember it was the GOP that did their part with Watergate, read my lips, WMD. Covid was not predicted but the left ran with the deaths.

This crazy black woman-too crazy and too black-the Kenyan wasn’t. AOC-the senate’s more doable. I just don’t think the rats are that dumb. They’ll clean up their mess in house. Our job is to keep pushing those 80-20 issues which are real.

Give the Devil her due. Jasmine Crockett went from a nobody to being considered to run for president - within what, a year? - just by using a savvy media strategy to play to the lunatic Left base of the Dems. She’s more popular than most of the “Squad” and on par with AOC.

How about getting out of politics completely, Jasmine?

You can open an eyelash salon or something.

The problem with Jazzymammy is that she’s too damn black. A mother of all racists.

There’s more. Unplanned events could push the rats over the top like covid did. Then there’s the bug hug after the hurricane. How about another Columbine? In most cases the GOP was not clicking on all cylinders.

Well if you compare her to Hillary, Biden, the turd*, Harris and the other delusional Marxist Democrat woman who thinks she’s presidential material, she isn’t too far outside their competency range
