BREAKING: Jasmine Crockett has LOST the Democratic Primary for US Senate in TX, putting an END to her career in Congress
DALLAS, TX — The ultimate political gamble has officially ended in total disaster. Representative Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) has lost the highly contested Democratic primary for the U.S. Senate in Texas, a crushing defeat that effectively puts an abrupt and permanent end to her current career in the United States Congress.
Crockett, who skyrocketed to national fame as a progressive firebrand known for her viral, combative clapbacks during House Oversight Committee hearings, gave up her safe, Dallas-based House seat to run statewide. Instead of advancing to face a Republican in November, she was soundly defeated by 36-year-old State Representative James Talarico.
THE STYLE CLASH THAT DOOMED CROCKETT
The blockbuster March 3 primary was widely viewed as a massive test of the Democratic Party's future direction, pitting two entirely different political playbooks against one another.
Crockett leaned heavily into her reputation as a rhetorical brawler, betting that her unapologetic, partisan warfare against Donald Trump and Republicans would energize the Democratic base in major urban centers like Dallas and Houston. She promised a confrontational approach and frequently cast concerns about her electability as rooted in racism and sexism.
Talarico took the exact opposite approach. The former middle school teacher and Presbyterian seminarian pitched a unifying, faith-based "politics of love," arguing that the central divide in America wasn't left versus right, but "top versus bottom." By campaigning heavily in deep-red, rural areas of the state and refusing corporate PAC money, Talarico managed to build a massive coalition that completely overwhelmed Crockett's urban base.
VOTING CHAOS IN DALLAS
Crockett's devastating loss was also marred by severe voting irregularities in her home base of Dallas County.
Following new rules implemented by local Republicans that eliminated county-wide voting centers, voters were forced to cast ballots at specific precincts. This led to widespread confusion, long lines, and hundreds of voters being turned away or redirected. Crockett's campaign was furious, with the Congresswoman delivering a somber election night speech where she declared that her constituents had been deliberately "disenfranchised."
Despite the voting chaos, the margins were too wide to overcome. The following morning, Crockett officially conceded the race.
“This morning I called James and congratulated him on becoming the Senate nominee,” Crockett said in a statement. “This is about the future of all 30 million Texans and getting America back on track. With the primary behind us, Democrats must rally around our nominees and win.”
THE END OF THE LINE
Because Texas law prevents candidates from running for two federal offices simultaneously, Crockett's decision to launch a Senate bid means she could not run for reelection in her heavily Democratic House district.
With Talarico now advancing to face either Senator John Cornyn or Attorney General Ken Paxton following their upcoming Republican runoff, Crockett will finish out her remaining months in the House of Representatives before officially exiting Washington next January.
What was supposed to be the launch of a massive statewide takeover has instead become the sudden, shocking end of one of the Democratic Party's loudest and most viral voices.
'Guilty Of Fraud' - Hammer Dropped On Former First Lady Jill Biden During Live Fox News Segment
McEnany Accuses Jill Biden Of Misleading Americans About Debate Performance
Posted July 15, 2026
Former White House press secretary and Fox News host Kayleigh McEnany accused former first lady Jill Biden of misleading the American public about President Joe Biden’s condition following his widely criticized debate performance during the 2024 campaign.
McEnany made the remarks Thursday during an appearance on Fox News Channel’s “America’s Newsroom,” where she reacted to comments Jill Biden reportedly made in her upcoming book regarding the president’s performance during the debate that ultimately intensified questions about his age and fitness for office.
The discussion began when co-host Dana Perino referenced remarks Jill Biden made immediately following the debate.
At a campaign event after the debate, Jill Biden praised her husband’s performance.
“Joe, you did such a great job. You answered every question,” she said at the time.
Perino contrasted those comments with more recent claims attributed to Jill Biden and raised questions about the apparent inconsistency.
“So now we know that this is what she’s saying in her book,” Perino said. “And the question I would love to ask her is where are you lying then or now?”
McEnany responded by arguing that Jill Biden’s reaction following the debate was inconsistent with her more recent descriptions of the event.
“It’s a great question,” McEnany said.
“That is not the reaction of someone who believes they just watched their husband have a stroke. It is an absolute lie.”
McEnany then accused the former first lady of concealing concerns about the president’s condition from voters.
“It was fraud,” she said.
“What she did fraud on the American public and she’s continuing it by saying she had never seen him like that before or after.”
The debate between Biden and President Donald Trump became a turning point in the 2024 election cycle, with many Democrats publicly expressing concern about Biden’s performance and his ability to continue his campaign.
Questions about Biden’s age and mental sharpness had circulated for years, but the debate intensified those concerns and fueled calls from some Democrats for him to step aside.
During the Fox News discussion, McEnany referenced comments previously made by veteran journalist Carl Bernstein regarding Biden’s condition behind the scenes.
“Dana, you all remember Carl Bernstein, who said he talked to people who knew Joe Biden, loved Joe Biden, supported Joe Biden, and they were adamant that what we saw was not a one-off,” McEnany said.
According to McEnany, Bernstein reported that individuals close to Biden had observed similar episodes before the debate.
“They said it had happened 15 or 20 times prior, him losing his train of thought,” she said.
McEnany also cited a fundraiser Bernstein reportedly described.
“He described a fundraiser where he froze up and seemed to have some type of rigor mortis,” she said.
“This is not something that was a one-off.”
McEnany argued that concerns about Biden’s condition were widely known among those close to him.
“This was well known,” she said.
She then questioned why Jill Biden continued publicly defending her husband following the debate.
“So why did she keep up with the fraud on the American people?” McEnany asked.
The former first lady has repeatedly defended her husband and rejected claims that she or members of his inner circle concealed concerns about his health, Breitbart News reported.
The debate over Biden’s condition became one of the defining political stories of the 2024 election cycle and continued after he ultimately left the race.
McEnany’s comments reflect ongoing scrutiny surrounding what Biden’s family, advisers and top Democratic officials knew about his condition and when they knew it.
Neither Jill Biden nor representatives for the former president immediately responded to McEnany’s latest remarks.
As new books and accounts from those involved continue to emerge, questions surrounding Biden’s final campaign and the decisions made by those closest to him remain a major topic of political debate.
