Jasmine Crockett Gets The Boot
U.S. Rep. Jasmine Crockett, the loud-mouthed leftist from Texas, got turned out in her race to advance to the U.S. Senate. In Tuesday’s primary election, Crockett only gathered about 46 percent of the vote, while James Talarico took 53 percent to become the Democratic nominee.
The Republican race advanced to a runoff as the totals were too close to call between sitting U.S. Sen. John Cornyn and his opponent, Attorney General Ken Paxton. The runoff race will happen in May.
Also battling to a runoff in Texas’ primary: U.S. Rep. Al Green, the Texas Democrat who tried six different times to impeach President Donald Trump. Green was beat by a much younger Democrat – 38-year-iold Christian Menefee — but Menefee fell short of 50 percent of the vote, so the two contestants will square off once more in a May runoff. Here’s more from Benny Johnson.
