Fox News Anchor Crows About ‘Shocking Poll’ Showing Jasmine Crocket Leading Texas Senate Primary
Fox News’ Harris Faulkner labeled a poll showing Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) leading Democrats to run for Sen. John Cornyn’s (R-TX) seat “shocking,” given the backlash she’s receiving over a video addressing the recent Texas floods.
“A shocking poll shows Texas congresswoman Jasmine Crockett is leading in the race for incumbent Republican John Cornyn’s Senate seat. Even bigger news though, the massive backlash over her making the Texas flood disaster all about her,” Faulkner said on The Faulkner Focus on Thursday. “Well, it’s not news because she does that with everything.”
Faulkner later returned to the subject of the poll, calling the story an “unconscious bestie.”
“Some shock now, Republican Party polling shows Crocket is leading Democrats’ hypothetical 2026 field by 35 points to run for incumbent Republican John Cornyn seat,” she reported.
According to polling released this month from the National Republican Senatorial Committee, Crockett is leading Democrats as a potential candidate to challenge Cornyn with 35%. Following her: Colin Allred with 20%, and Beto O’Rourke and Rep. Joaquin Castro (D-TX) with 13%.
Faulkner then turned to a recent controversial video from Crockett in which she addressed the Texas floods — as well as her hairstyle.
“And there’s this gem. She said this on social media, blaming the administration for the flooding. And making the issue in Texas all about her,” Faulkner said.
“The sad part is I think that my heart is going to carry a level of weight that will continue to weigh me down as we have to continue to do our best to survive an administration that literally is against us,” Crockett said in the clip.
“Not a single word about the victims, the children who perished. It’s all about her. Part of her caption for that video gave a shout out to her hairstylist saying, ‘My staff said, y’all are commenting about my bob,'” Faulkner said in response.
In the Instagram video Crockett posted earlier this week, she did offer her “heartfelt prayers” to those still missing due to the floods that hit Texas, which have claimed more than 100 lives, dozens of them children.
Crockett also railed against federal cuts made by President Donald Trump’s administration and called for more investment in climate change research.
“Don’t look at this and think, oh, it’s Texas and so it’s not my issue,” she said. “I want y’all to understand that anything that happens at any place in this country could easily happen at your front door from immigrations raids to the terrible weather that we know we experience because climate change really is real. It’s unfortunate that we are not investing more to make sure that we can better understand climate change and do the things that we need to do.”
