Jasmine Crockett from Texas refused to back a challenge by AOC against Chuck Schumer when he’s up for reelection.
Crockett questioned whether the US would hold a presidential election in four years, reiterating her previously stated claim that President Trump is a dictator intent on undermining democratic norms.
“You’re close with congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez … some of your fellow House Democrats say — not just progressives, by the way, we’ve heard moderates have said this too — that they’re ready to support her to challenge Chuck Schumer in a Democratic primary. Would you get behind that?” Tapper asked.
“That’s four years from now. If you were asking me at least in two years, then I’d have an absolute answer,” the Texas congresswoman said.
“But I can tell you that there are a lot of people that are watching this leadership in this moment, this is the moment, we don’t even know what elections will look like in four years, if we will have elections,” she said before an oblique reference to a need for “younger, fresher” leadership without directly answering the question.
Tapper did not challenge her election assertion in any way.
Democrats have learned nothing from this last election. They are still complaining and have no real plan in sight!
