The Politics of Going Low
Briefly

Jasmine Crockett, a Texas Democrat, is unhappy with her chances to lead the House Oversight Committee. She expresses frustration over colleagues prioritizing seniority and not communicating with her despite seeking donations. Crockett believes this race symbolizes a larger issue within the Democratic Party, emphasizing the need for stronger, more effective communicators. Many Democratic voters have expressed their desire for a fighter, reflecting her own efforts in Congress, where she has established herself as a vocal opponent of former President Trump, who has publicly criticized her.
Crockett believes the Democratic Party needs sharper communicators, stating, "It's like, there's one clear person in the race that has the largest social-media following."
Crockett feels sidelined in the race for House Oversight Committee chair, mentioning her colleagues ask for donations but ignore her about the job.
