Democrat Jasmine Crockett made it official tonight - she’s running for the Democrat Party’s U.S. Senate nomination in Texas. She’ll have one less competitor, though. Earlier on Monday, Democrat Colin Allred explained why he dropped out of the race to make way for Crockett.
Here’s Allred. (WATCH)
Collin Allred explains why he stepped out of the TX Senate race for Jasmine Crockett:

That's today's Democratic Party. Push aside the more moderate and more qualified candidate in favor of the ridiculous, camera hogging, tik-tocking, far left moron that "ignites the base."

You can call it the 'Aftyn Behn Effect.' Republican Scott Jennings warned that this would happen.
Posters say it also didn’t help Allred’s nomination chances that Crockett checks more DEI boxes than he does.
Crockett has an extra victim point for being female so that was that.

He looks and sounds too white, plus he’s worse at pretending to be ghetto than she is.

He's only a one point DEI! The ghetto trash is a 2 pointer!

Haha got told to step down the imbecile Jasmine Crockett could run ha ha ha ha. That has to hurt your pride. Democrats continue to DEI they DIE

Tipped the victimhood scorecard
— Western Lensman (@WesternLensman) December 8, 2025
She out-victimized him!
Commenters say Allred’s explanation doesn’t ring entirely true.
Not buying what he’s selling.

You’re either a radical racist-pushing socialist, or you’re out.

Are Texas Democrats insane?
— David Alexander (@DaveAlexanderID) December 8, 2025
Yes, yes, they are.
Posters have some additional thoughts and comments on Allred dropping out for Crockett.
I can't believe the party is going with Jasmine.
— Ellie A (@EllieGAnders) December 8, 2025
He would have been a much stronger candidate than Crockett.
— Wes Dorman (@JWesleyDorman) December 8, 2025
Just like Biden, forced out for a woman.

This tells me he was told by the DNC he wouldn't get any money. So being a typical beta male Dem he quit

Always had beta vibes.

The Party always gets who The Party wants.

Imagine having to drop out of a race because of Jasmine Crockett? This guy’s career is over.

Hope Allred got at least a nice payout from the Democrats. They’ll probably shuffle him off to a consulting job somewhere or set him up with a nice analyst job at CNN or MS NOW. So long, Colin.
