Crockett said that the donors are lining up behind one specific candidate
Rep. Jasmine Crockett, D-Texas, said Democrats were eyeing the “safest White boy” in the 2028 presidential race, hinting at “one specific candidate” being floated by the party’s donors, during a podcast conversation this week.
“It is this fear that the people within the party, within the primary system, will have about voting for a woman because every time we voted for a woman, we’ve lost, so far,” she said in a clip posted to Instagram. “And I think that that’s a natural fear because we just want to win.”
SiriusXM host Clay Cane posted the clip to Instagram on Friday, noting that the discussion was part of a SiriusXM “Urban View” town hall. The full conversation is set to air on May 15.
“So there’s a lot of people that are like, ‘You know what? ‘Let’s go find the safest White boy we can find,’” Crockett added. “I mean, I’m just saying.”
