The Left is desperately trying to regain power. But it isn’t going to happen anytime soon.
And now Mike Johnson eviscerated this Democrat with one sentence.
GOP Delights in Crockett’s Senate Folly
House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) barely hid his glee Wednesday when pressed on firebrand Rep. Jasmine Crockett’s (D-Texas) eleventh-hour plunge into the 2026 U.S. Senate race, hailing it as a Republican dream come true in the deep-red Lone Star State.
At a House leadership briefing, Johnson flashed a wide grin and rubbed his hands in anticipation: “I’m absolutely delighted that Jasmine Crockett is running for Senate in Texas.”
“I think it’s one of the greatest things that’s happened to the Republican Party in a long, long time,” he continued, lumping Crockett with far-left figures like New York Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani as the new “face of the Democratic Party.” “She is the face of the Democratic Party, she and [Zohran] Mamdani. Good luck with that.”
Johnson urged giving Crockett the biggest stage possible: “I would like Crockett to ‘have the largest, loudest microphone that she can every single day.'” He predicted an easy GOP hold: “We are going to elect another Republican senator in Texas. Texas is a red state… The people of Texas are commonsense Americans, and what Jasmine is trying to sell will not be purchased by the folks of Texas.”
Democrats Scramble as Crockett’s Polarizing Bid Backfires
House Democratic Caucus Chair Rep. Pete Aguilar (D-Calif.) pushed back hard against Johnson’s taunts, accusing the speaker of desperate deflection amid the GOP’s eroding House edge and recent Blue breakthroughs, like Democratic flips in Georgia legislative seats and Miami’s first Democratic mayor in 30 years.
“I think Speaker Johnson is trying to do anything he can to distract from the majority… that we see dwindling, and it’s like sand falling through his hands,” Aguilar fired off. “He just can’t keep a hold of it – he sees that – he would much rather talk about a Senate race than he would the Georgia House races that Republicans lost or the mayor’s race that the vice-chair mentioned, the first time in 30 years that a Democrat has been mayor of Miami… he wants to distract and take away from this because he’s losing his grip on his majority. That much is very clear.”
Aguilar leaned in: “So, the more that Speaker Johnson wants to talk about the national landscape and the Senate environment, I absolutely support because he’s losing his majority next November, if not sooner.” But privately, many Texas Democrats are fuming over Crockett’s disruptive entry, which chased moderate ex-Rep. Colin Allred back to a safer House run and risks forcing a messy primary runoff—handing Republicans a unified, energized field against a nominee who’s already underwater statewide.
Crockett’s Desperate Trump Tirade Dooms Her in Red Texas
Crockett, the Dallas Democrat infamous for her inflammatory rants and viral meltdowns targeting President Trump and Gov. Greg Abbott, filed her Senate papers Monday in a chaotic last-second scramble—just hours before the deadline—after internal polls convinced her she could somehow flip a seat Democrats haven’t touched since 1994.
At a Dallas rally, she peddled her anti-Trump screed as a battle cry: “I’m done watching the American dream on life support while Trump tries to pull the plug. The gloves have been off, and now I’m jumping into the ring.”
Defending her panic-fueled timing, Crockett whined: “Many people wonder why I jumped in this race so late, and I just want to be clear that this was never my intention, this was never about me, I never put myself into any of the polls. But the more I saw the poll results, I couldn’t ignore the trends, which were clear, both as it relates to the primary as well as the general election, I could have played it safe and continued serving in the United States House of Representatives for as long as my constituents would have me, but I don’t choose to do that, because, Texas, this moment we’re in now is life or death.”
She even cribbed Obama’s slogan in a delusional pep talk: “‘Many people asked, ‘Can we win this race in November?’ I’m here to say, ‘Yes, we can!’” Crockett sneered at Texas’s conservative ethos: “Texas is a big boy state made up of brawlers with a moral code. Our representation should reflect that, sadly enough, it doesn’t. After evaluating the data, analyzing the trends, researching historic numbers, and combing over the crosstabs, it was clear, the numbers were strongest for my candidacy for United States Senate, that’s why I decided to enter this race.”
But those “strongest numbers” are a mirage: A fresh Change Research poll shows Crockett trailing GOP frontrunners Sen. John Cornyn (49%-41%) and Attorney General Ken Paxton (50%-42%), with 40% of Texans viewing her unfavorably to just 33% favorable—and a whopping 49% vowing they’d “definitely not” vote for her. In the March 3 Democratic primary, she edges state Rep. James Talarico 31%-25% per a University of Houston survey, but her sky-high unfavorability—fueled by gaffes like mocking Abbott as “Governor Hot Wheels” and slamming Hispanic Trump voters as having a “slave mentality”—has even her own party insiders calling her “electoral kryptonite” in a state Trump won by 14 points. Republicans, from the NRSC to Trump, are salivating, already blasting ads exposing her hypocrisy on violence while she dooms Democrats’ slim shot at the seat. In crimson Texas, Crockett’s radical rage is the perfect punchline for another GOP rout.
