The Aporia · Jasmine Crockett heads to Virginia to stump in close House districts while spurning Talarico

Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) recently campaigned in Virginia’s 7th Congressional District for Rep. Eugene Vindman (D-VA), aiming to boost voter turnout and raise funds. Despite backing James Talarico, her primary opponent in the Texas Senate race, Crockett has avoided campaigning with him in Texas and instead focused on supporting other Democratic candidates across the country through her newly formed PAC called FIRE. Virginia’s 7th district is considered a likely Democratic win but shows signs of shifting towards Republicans; Vindman currently leads with a $5.7 million campaign war chest.

Story summary

Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) traveled to Virginia this week to campaign for Rep. Eugene Vindman (D-VA) in the state's 7th Congressional District, a key battleground area. Previously, Crockett had supported fellow Texas Democrat James Talarico during his primary victory over Republican Attorney General Ken Paxton but has since avoided campaigning with Talarico back home. Instead, she focuses on helping Democratic candidates in competitive districts outside of Texas, such as Vindman's race. Vindman highlighted the positive turnout and enthusiasm generated by Crockett’s visit, emphasizing their joint efforts to mobilize voters ahead of November. The Virginia 7th district is currently considered a likely Democratic hold by the Cook Political Report despite slight shifts favoring Republicans in recent months.
