Democratic Rep. Jasmine Crockett launched a campaign Monday for the U.S. Senate in Texas, telling President Donald Trump, \u201cI’m coming for you,” and bringing a national profile to what could be a critical race for Democrats\u2019 long-shot hopes of reclaiming a Senate majority in next year\u2019s midterm elections.<\/p>\n

Crockett, one of Congress\u2019 most outspoken Democrats, a frequent target of GOP attacks and a Trump target, jumped into the race on the final day of qualifying in Texas. She is seeking the Senate seat held by Republican John Cornyn<\/a>, who is running for reelection in the GOP-dominated state.<\/p>\n
