Texas Republican Sen. John Cornyn has welcomed Democratic Rep. Jasmine Crockett’s entry into the race for his seat, calling the announcement of her campaign “a gift.”
Crockett, 44, well known for trash-talking the opposition in media appearances and in House committee hearings, revealed her run for the upper chamber of Congress Monday, with fellow challenger Colin Allred abandoning his own plans to battle Cornyn for the seat hours later.
