Last updatedMar 14, 2026
Jasmine Crockett lost the Texas Democratic primary for U.S. Senate to state Rep. James Talarico. On election night, she raised concerns about delayed vote counting in Dallas County and accused the GOP of targeting Democratic voters, as a court ruled late-cast ballots should be separated from earlier votes. The race drew national attention as Democrats look toward a competitive general election, with the Republican nominee still to be decided in a runoff.
