I love this woman. Crazy that we had two great candidates in this race, then look the Democratic contenders for Senate in Maine.

I wanted Crockett for the Democrats, but I back Talarico all the way now. Let Crockett use her extraordinary skill as an attorney to sue and destroy the corruption that is and has been crippling Texas politics for decades. In ranked voting, Talarico and Crockett would be heading for the Senate.

Bill-& Hillary- aren't involved- really- I've seen a video- Bill Clinton- standing- w/Epstein- face-to-face-& French kissed- Hillary- like- Bill- may- have- new definition- of a word- like- Bill- is-is- bc- Hillary Clinton- said- she- never- met- Jeffrey Epstein🤷... Hillary Email- hotdog no bun👇

I believe her district was gerrymandered out? Still, NC did that to Jeff Jackson and he is now a kickass AG. We ain't seen the last of Jasmine, thankfully!

She is one classy human being. She is phenomenal and equally qualified, but in these times, sadly, a white man of religious background is needed so Magas can find a thread of relation to in order to flip. Racism sadly, still sits at the wheel at times for driving support. She’s not, however, done!

Note to the phony "Leftists" who still find the time & energy to attack Hillary & Kamala in the face of Republican atrocities: What Crockett **IS NOT** going to do is keep attacking Talarico to drag him down & make sure he loses in Nov.

Can I just recap, here? Jasmine is out but she’s throwing her weight to the one who defeated her, in order to keep the seat blue. Do I have that right? God bless her.

Thank you for being a professional adult in accepting your loss. And thank you for all you have done for your constituents and all Americans by speaking truth to power. You are amazing!

Talarico will make a great Senator for Texas and democracy and a brighter future for America. Rep Crockett has shown how it is supposed to be done at the end of the race and has proven once again she cares about democracy and Texans, and is a fighter (with class) for the greater good. Outstanding

Love them both. I didn’t care which one won. Let’s take the nice gloves off and begin the fight of our lives. This is going to be a long nasty campaign and the beginning of turning Texas purple. Let the mud slinging begin. You’ve got this Talarico 💪🏻

The GOP definitely was scared of her. Hence their pushing for the change in polling sites AND stepping in to potentially disenfranchise thousands by blocking the extended voting hours.

We know a white man has a better shot at winning in TX. I have faith we will see her again. NC gerrymandered out a great congressman and now he is a kickass AG. TX will lose in the long run. Jasmine will be back!

Kudos to Rep. Crockett! This is a well stated, thoughtful & positive conciliatory statement from her. I'm disappointed that she'll not be able to retain her U.S. House seat, but she's most certainly NOT done with here work yet!

Conceding with grace and urging unity is how democratic politics should work. Jasmine Crockett’s call to rally behind the nominee shows the difference between competition within a party and the larger fight to defend democratic values. #USDemocracy

I really respected Crockett. I wonder why Texans didn’t support her and instead voted for a virtually unknown, untested candidate. Anybody?

Not unknown in Texas. He's been a progressive voice in the legislature for almost eight years, and made powerful arguments against the Christian Right™️. The GOP (now the MAGA Party) has had complete control of Texas since 1994. I voted for Crockett, but Talarico gets my full support as the nominee.

Not exactly. Her district is still there and is a safe democratic seat. She gave it up when she decided to run for senate. Her high profile might land her a media career now or she could run for another congressional seat if one becomes available, perhaps through retirement.

Crockett is a class act and I know of several Republicans who need to learn from her behavior. She's a fighter. Her career is not over yet. NO only means Next Opportunity .

Thank you, Jasmine Crockett for unifying the party The May 26 runoff between Senator John Cornyn and Attorney General Ken Paxton is expected to be exceptionally expensive, with some estimates suggesting it could cost the Republican party and allied groups an additional $200 million. Love this😜😜😜

Clownspeak. The was the primary competitor. It is clearly about getting her supporters to get behind him...which is precisely the correct message. I think you just can't stand the Black lady...

So now they voted out, with help from GOP Paxton and voter suppression, a proven fighter in Congress with Crockett and replaced her with a choir boy and unproven fighter. Will someone explain to me why would Talarico run for Senate when there was a proven successful fighter already in place? Curious

I get that but, why run in the first place for this seat? Did he know she would be running for this seat? I just think that he could have run for another office where the Dems are weakest, and have two good candidates on the bench instead of one now. Having two fighters sends a powerful message!

Like all politicians, he ran because he thought he could win. She filed on the last day she could enter the race. No way he knew she would file for it. I think he has a good chance of winning, better than what Jasmine would have faced if she won.

Republicans, led by Paxton, meddled in the Democratic election with racist-old voter-suppression, in an effort to make sure Crockett doesn’t win. They would rather see a soft-spoken, white, pastor-looking candidate win instead of the angry black woman who calls Trump and other repubs to the carpet!

I voted for Crockett, but Talarico joined the Tx dems by leaving the state to prevent a vote on a Republican redistricting bill that favored GOP districts. He also taught middle school in an economically disadvantaged school district in San Antonio, which I also taught at. Respect ✊🏼

No disrespect; but, why would he run against Crockett knowing she represented her state well, fighter, called out Trump and his minions to the carpet? What was so bad about her record that made him want to run against her? You have a good fighter already in Congress, why run against her? Curious.

He also represents the state well. I don’t believe he harbored machinations towards JC, just an earnest desire to give us choices and that was a big issue during the presidential election.. lack of choices for the party presidential candidate after Biden dropped out.

I guess, she’s doing just what they set her up to do and I don’t understand why people are not outrage how thousands of people of color votes were denied through chaos and confusion. She didn’t just regularly lost to him. Her votes were stolen.! where is the outrage?

Jan S I hope the democrats who are mad that she didn't win the primary STILL VOTE for Talarico in Nov. Midterms. If Not we're screwed! This is why Trump got elected in 2016! Bernie Sanders supporters were pissed so they didn't vote for Hillary or didn't vote at all! look how that turned out!

She’s such a star 🌟 her supporters are upset. Such shenanigans in TX, and the racism & white nationalism & misogyny is painful 😣. Let’s listen to our sisters & bros - give it a little space & we’ll pull together.
