CHICAGO — Freshman Rep. Jasmine Crockett has gone viral more than once since she was sworn in last year and joined the House Oversight Committee, an intensely partisan venue where she has sparred with GOP Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene.
Crockett’s speech at the Democratic National Convention on Monday night, in which she choked up describing feelings of self-doubt when she first met Vice President Kamala Harris, is likely to elevate her profile. And that’s something Crockett isn’t looking forward to.
“I absolutely am not excited about that part,” Crockett, D-Texas, said after exiting the United Center stage. “It’s still been very difficult for me to adjust to the fact that people know who I am in the first place.”
