**Unbelievable: Jasmine Crockett Risks Political Career by Dismissing Trump Voters in Texas**
In a shocking display of political naivety, Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) has boldly claimed that she does not need the support of Trump voters in her recent bid for the Senate.
During a Monday interview on CNN, Crockett made it clear that converting Trump supporters is not a priority for her campaign.
When pressed by the host on how she intends to win over the Republican base in Texas, she stated, “Yeah, I don’t know that we’ll necessarily convert all of Trump supporters. That’s not our goal.”
Her comments are particularly perplexing given the reality that Texas has leaned solidly Republican in recent years. The Lone Star State is not just a Republican stronghold; it has also solidified Donald Trump's appeal, having delivered him a significant victory in 2020.
Crockett's strategy appears to hinge on a misguided belief that she can rally non-Trump voters while completely ignoring a substantial segment of the electorate.
She went on to explain that her campaign’s focus is on those who feel overlooked, emphasizing issues like affordability and access to healthcare.
However, she seems to misunderstand the demographics of the Texas electorate. Many of the so-called "everyday people" she claims to represent are actually Trump supporters who face similar economic challenges.
By dismissing these voters outright, it raises the question of whether Crockett understands who she is talking to or if she is simply using her candidacy to remain relevant in the public eye.
Furthermore, Crockett’s claim that she can succeed without engaging with Trump supporters comes at a time when Democrats have not held a Senate seat in Texas since 1988.
Her dismissal of a significant voter base is reminiscent of a broader trend among some Democrats who underestimate the effectiveness of Trump's policies on everyday American lives.
As Crockett embarks on her campaign, the question remains: can she really afford to ignore the vast majority of Texas voters who have shown steadfast support for Trump?
In the end, her strategy may ultimately prove to be her undoing in a state where even the most modest of outreach to the Republican base is crucial.
