In a major political upset, two longtime Democratic lawmakers — Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett and Congressman Al Green — have both lost their primaries and will not be returning to Congress next year.
Jasmine Crockett, the fiery Texas representative known for her viral moments and sharp questioning during congressional hearings, suffered a surprising defeat in her primary race. Similarly, veteran Congressman Al Green of Texas, who has served in the House for over two decades, has also been voted out by his constituents.
This double loss marks a significant shift in the Texas Democratic delegation and signals growing voter frustration in key districts. Political analysts are already calling it one of the biggest surprises of the primary season.
With both lawmakers now set to leave Washington at the end of their current terms, questions are rising about what’s next for these prominent voices in the Democratic Party.
What do you think about these results? Is this a sign of bigger changes coming in 2026?
