“Do You Like Me for President? The Answer is YES.”
In a fiery 11-minute video posted at exactly 11:11 a.m. EST, Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) just ended months of speculation and launched her campaign for President of the United States.
Holding the now-iconic white sign from her viral Jimmy Fallon appearance, Crockett stared straight into the camera and declared:
“America asked me to ‘be honest.’
So here’s the honesty: I’m running.
I’m running because a Black woman who grew up in public housing in St. Louis has every damn right to sit behind that Resolute Desk.
I’m running because the same folks who tried to silence me in Congress are terrified of what happens when I have the microphone for four years.”
The 44-year-old civil-rights attorney and two-term congresswoman instantly became the first major Democrat to enter the 2028 primary, jumping in before Kamala Harris, Pete Buttigieg, or Gavin Newsom have even scheduled their “listening tours.”
Early endorsements are already pouring in:
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez: “She’s the leader we’ve been waiting for.”
