Jasmine Crockett&#8217;s announcement to run for the U.S. Senate in Texas, saying Crockett&#8217;s campaign focuses too much on opposition to former President Donald trump rather than addressing the needs of Texas voters. Griffin argued that simply being against Trump is not a winning strategy in the <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >predominantly red state<\/a>, which Trump won in past elections.She urged Crockett to clarify her platform by focusing on issues like affordability, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/desantis-suffering-backlash-for-listless-vessels-comment-provides-a-fun-teachable-lesson-about-insulting-voters\/\" title=\"DeSantis Faces Backlash for Insulting Voters, a Lesson in Respect\">working-class support<\/a>, and manufacturing. Crockett&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/georgia-secretary-of-state-there-will-be-a-recount\/\" title=\"Georgia Secretary of State: &#039;There Will Be a Recount&#039;\">campaign ad<\/a> highlighted Trump&#8217;s insults toward her, positioning herself as a strong Democratic opposition figure. While Griffin expressed skepticism about Crockett&#8217;s chances, other co-hosts showed some support, emphasizing the need for a strong opposition party. Crockett is expected to face competition in the Democratic primary,notably from state Rep. James Talarico. On the Republican side, Sen. John Cornyn seeks a fifth term, contending against Attorney General Ken Paxton and Rep.Wesley hunt.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">The View&rsquo;s Alyssa Farah Griffin critiques Crockett&rsquo;s Senate bid as &lsquo;not about the people&rsquo;<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_2427257\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p>The<em> View<\/em> co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin said Tuesday that Rep. <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/house\/3910081\/abbott-predicts-doom-crockett-if-she-enters-senate-race\/\">Jasmine Crockett<\/a>&lsquo;s (D-TX) announcement will not win over most voters in the &ldquo;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/todd-young-invites-a-primary-challenge-by-refusing-to-back-hegseth\/\" title=\"Todd Young Invites A Primary Challenge By Refusing To Back Hegseth\">red state&#038;rdquo<\/a>; of <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/campaigns\/3911157\/colin-allred-texas-senate-campaign-ramifications\/\">Texas<\/a>, prompting some disagreement from her co-hosts.<\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/campaigns\/congressional\/3910362\/jasmine-crockett-running-texas-senate-colin-allred-drop-out\/\">Crockett announced her candidacy for the 2026 Texas Senate race<\/a> on Monday in a video, playing a montage of comments and insults President Donald Trump has made against her.
