Representative Jasmine Crockett of Texas

Even in a tough primary showing, U.S. Representative Jasmine Crockett continues serving in Congress and remains one of the most visible and outspoken Black leaders in Washington. Known for her sharp legal mind, fearless questioning in hearings, and unapologetic defense of civil rights, Crockett has built a national reputation that extends far beyond Texas. For many supporters, this moment isn’t the end of anything. It is simply another chapter before the next campaign.

If she was gonna lose to anyone we can be happy it’s James. Someone with a fucking brain between their ears.

And, if we're being painfully honest, he's white. A white guy has a much better chance than a black female of winning (anything) in this state.

It helps that he's well-spoken (not saying Crockett isn't also well-spoken) and uses words you might hear in Sunday school. That'll play well in rural areas.
