DALLAS – U.S. Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas<\/a>) said in a Wednesday interview she would “strongly consider” a run for Senate, Fox News reports.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Recent polling<\/a> showed the Dallas<\/a> congresswoman has a potential early lead in the crowded Democratic primary for Sen. John Cornyn’s seat.\u00a0<\/p>\n

What we know:<\/p>\n

The topic came up on SiriusXM\u2019s “The Lurie Daniel Favors Show,” Fox News said, when she reportedly referenced the latest polling.<\/p>\n

Crockett appeared undecided in the interview, saying she’s still waiting for a final ruling<\/a> on the new Texas Congressional District maps. The recent redrawing<\/a> was designed to create five new Republican seats in the U.S. House, and would change Crockett’s area of representation if the court rules in its favor.\u00a0<\/p>\n

What they’re saying:<\/p>\n

“The other option is every other day there’s a poll that comes out that makes it clear that I can win the primary for the U.S. Senate race in Texas, and I am looking, because if you want to take my seat of 766,000 away, I feel like there has to be some karma in that to where I take your seat that is for 30 million away,” Crockett said in the Sirius.<\/p>\n

What we don’t know:<\/p>\n

Aside from the final ruling from the court, Crockett reportedly said she and her team are working to analyze broader polling data to get a better idea of her chances in the general election.\u00a0<\/p>\n

While she said she would “strongly consider” a Senate bid if the numbers look good, she did not give a definitive date she might begin a potential campaign.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Paxton, Crockett lead in latest Senate primary polls<\/a> <\/p>\n

Statewide polling shows Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton with a narrow lead over incumbent Sen. John Cornyn for the Republican Senate nomination, while U.S. Rep. Jasmine Crockett leads among likely Democratic candidates.<\/p>\n

In two-candidate races, Crockett has a 23% lead over Allred, 57% to 34%, a 18% lead over Talarico, 52% to 34%, and a 10% lead over O’Rourke, 51% to 41%.<\/p>\n

Texas Senate primary <\/p>\n

Texas AG Ken Paxton and U.S. Rep. Wesley Hunt, a Houston Democrat, are the current GOP challengers for Cornyn’s seat.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Republican candidates will face one of several challengers on the Democrat side in the general election.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The latest, Texas Rep. James Talarico (D-Austin), recently announced a record-breaking fundraising effort<\/a> in his first quarter of campaigning. The $6.2 million in funding far outpaces the other candidates.<\/p>\n

Former U.S. Rep. Colin Allred, Talarico’s main challenger among those already committed to the Democratic primary, announced $4.1 million raised so far in his campaign. Allred entered the race on July 1.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Retired NASA astronaut Terry Virts has also announced he is running for the Democratic nomination.<\/p>\n

Other possible opponents could include former U.S. Rep. Beto O’Rourke, who attempted a bid for Ted Cruz’s seat in 2018, and U.S. Rep. Joaquin Castro. They have not yet announced their candidacy.\u00a0<\/p>\n
