Jasmine Crockett Won’t Campaign for James Talarico: ‘I Will Be Campaigning Down Ballot’

EXCERPT:

CROCKETT: "I will be campaigning down-ballot. I think that what matters most — "

COATES: "Why the decision?"

CROCKETT: "Because when we're looking at a state like Texas, we've tried this, where we've got one amazing candidate that's running at the top of the ticket. Beto is a very good example of this, raising all the money, doing all the things, running around the entire state, but it's not enough. So, for me, I don't think that it should be a matter of there's just one thing that is getting me to the polls. I think it has to be something a little bit more in a state like Texas. And so, for me, I think that making sure that people that maybe are getting overshadowed because it seems like it's only about one big race, I think amplifying them, making sure that I can raise their profiles, and introducing them to people, that will give something more to voters to make them say, 'You know what, it may be raining outside, but I've got to go get there because I've got to go get there for this person and this person, plus I don't like Trump.'"
