Republicans are already grinning about what looks like a brilliant setup in Texas: Rep. Jasmine Crockett’s surprise Senate entry has been portrayed on Fox as exactly the kind of late, chaotic Democratic move that hands the GOP an advantage. Former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy went on Jesse Watters Primetime to walk through how the dynamics unfolded and to openly mock the Democrats’ choices, underscoring that this was a gift to Republicans rather than a savvy Democratic play.
The headwinds for Crockett are immediate and obvious, and even top Democrats and allied media figures smell trouble — President Trump called her bid “a gift to Republicans,” while House Speaker Mike Johnson openly celebrated her decision as a boost for GOP chances in the state. Texas is still a conservative state outside a few blue urban pockets, and the national Democrats keep nominating firebrands who excite the base but repel the persuadable voters needed to win statewide.
This wasn’t an accident, either — Republican operatives and the NRSC reportedly seeded the narrative with polling that would encourage the most extreme Democrat to run, hoping to clear a smoother path for a Republican pickup. Smart conservatives recognized the chance and moved to amplify the weakness; Democrats rewarded their own radical flank by rushing a candidate who is easy to nationalize and pin to the left.
McCarthy didn’t hold back on the optics and the inside politics, even pointing out the grotesque spectacle of Democratic infighting that now includes an alleged rivalry between Vice President Kamala Harris and California Gov. Gavin Newsom — a party squabbling while the country faces real problems. That kind of internecine drama is exactly what voters distrust: a party more focused on internal brand battles and celebrity politicking than on beating Republicans at the ballot box.
Conservatives should seize this moment and not waste it on civility theater; Crockett’s aggressive rhetoric and extreme positions will be easier to expose in a statewide contest that emphasizes kitchen-table issues like the economy, crime, and border security. Turn the spotlight on real results versus leftist slogans, and remind Texans why commonsense policies beat performative outrage every time.
If Republicans keep their heads and run serious, disciplined campaigns, this race could be the blueprint for how to neutralize the Democrats’ most theatrical candidates nationwide. Stand up for hardworking Americans, hold Democrats accountable for their chaos, and be ready — because when the left hands you an advantage, you don’t apologize for taking it.
