Former President Donald Trump has dismissed the U.S. Senate campaign of Representative Jasmine Crockett. He called her candidacy "a gift to Republicans."
In a statement, Trump also personally criticized the Texas Democrat. He labeled Crockett a "low IQ person" and a "terrible representative." Trump concluded, "Can't imagine she wins."
Crockett is running for the Senate seat being vacated by Republican Ted Cruz. The election will be held in November 2024.
Trump's comments are a direct intervention in the race. He is the presumed Republican nominee for president.
