Incompetence.
That’s the only way to describe the struggling campaign of Texas Democratic Rep. Jasmine Crockett as she vies for a Senate seat.
With the primaries just around the corner, Crockett's campaign is turning into a mess, raising serious questions about her viability as a candidate.
Recent reports reveal that she has spent far less on advertising—approximately $260,000—compared to her primary opponent, Democratic State Rep. James Talarico, who has poured in a staggering $6.6 million into his campaign.
As early voting approaches, Crockett’s campaign has not even designated a campaign manager, leaving many within her own party scratching their heads.
Supporters of Crockett have attempted to deflect criticism by claiming her unconventional campaign style stems from systemic racism that prevents candidates of color from utilizing traditional advertising methods.
Jen Ramos, a political commentator, noted that "traditional methods were not designed" for candidates like Crockett.
This excuse has drawn skepticism not just from conservatives but even from her fellow Democrats, who seem bewildered by the lack of organization and strategy within her campaign.
Furthermore, Crockett’s campaign website only recently added an "issues" section, and it hasn't exactly dazzled potential voters with clarity or detail.
In one glaring oversight, the issues page contained significant errors that call her competence into question, offering vague references rather than well-defined positions on crucial topics.
As Democrats wrangle to make sense of Crockett’s chaotic operation, the clock is ticking.
Absentee voting has already commenced, and in-person early voting is set to begin shortly.
Voter sentiments appear mixed; while a poll suggests she may hold a slight lead, an Emerson College survey indicated her opponent, Talarico, could be nine points ahead.
With a mere three weeks remaining until the Texas primary, Crockett's campaign has become more of a cautionary tale than a beacon of progressive hope.
The question now is: can her unorthodox approach galvanize the support she needs, or will this be yet another example of a poorly executed Democratic campaign?
Only time will tell, but as it stands, the flaws in Crockett’s campaign are glaring and significant.
