Why Two Stars Think Texas Senate Bid Might Not Be the Best Move

Bowen Yang, a former SNL star, and actor Matt Rogers recently shared their thoughts on Rep. Jasmine Crockett's (D-TX) Senate campaign. They both advised against supporting her run financially. During their podcast, Las Culturistas, Rogers expressed his concerns. He mentioned that when politicians seem too self-focused, it's a red flag. He strongly urged listeners not to donate to Crockett's campaign, stating it would be a waste of money. Yang agreed, adding that money is already tight for many people. Rogers further explained that Crockett is unlikely to win a Senate seat in Texas, especially since Beto O'Rourke couldn't do it either.Rogers also reflected on past elections, suggesting that Democrats might have been better off listening to populist messages. He also cautioned against nominating establishment Democrats like Gavin Newsom for future elections, as it might not resonate with voters. The conversation took a personal turn when Yang admitted he regretted supporting Hillary Clinton in the 2016 election. Rogers, however, stood by his decision, saying they were just trying to win. This discussion highlights the importance of strategic thinking in political campaigns and the role of public opinion in shaping electoral outcomes.
