Why Jasmine Crockett's Senate Bid Might Not Be a Win for Texas Democrats

James Carville, a seasoned Democratic strategist, recently shared his thoughts on Rep. Jasmine Crockett's decision to run for the Senate in Texas. He believes she might be breaking a golden rule of politics: making it about the voters, not herself. Carville acknowledged that Crockett is well-educated and energetic. However, he thinks her focus is more on herself than on the concerns of the voters. He suggested that she should consider rallying Democrats in districts that slightly favor Republicans, rather than staying in her safe district. He also mentioned the recent election in Tennessee's 7th district, where he believes Democrats made a mistake by nominating Aftyn Behn. He joked that Behn seemed like the worst possible candidate for the district, as she publicly expressed dislikes for country music and her home state, and supported controversial policies. Carville concluded that winning elections is not about personal fame or fundraising. It's about understanding voters' issues and framing them effectively. He doubts that Crockett is skilled at this.
