President Donald Trump teased a presidential candidate for Democrats in 2028 in a Truth Social post that will likely make several in the party cringe — but Republicans very happy.
In a post, Trump suggested that Democrats nominate left-wing Texas Democratic Rep. Jasmine Crockett for the White House. In the same post, Trump also lamented the fact that an avowed socialist who has also expressed ties with communism has just won the Democratic primary in the race to become mayor of his hometown, New York City.
” have an idea for the Democrats to bring them back into ‘play.’ After years of being left out in the cold, including suffering one of the Greatest Losses in History, the 2024 Presidential Election, the Democrats should nominate Low IQ Candidate, Jasmine Crockett, for President, and AOC+3 should be, respectively, Vice President, and three High Level Members of the Cabinet,” he wrote.
“Added together with our future Communist Mayor of New York City, Zohran Mamdani, and our Country is really SCREWED!” Trump, who has been attending a NATO meeting in Brussels, Belgium, wrote in the post.
Crockett, meanwhile, faced a surprising setback on Monday, finishing last among the candidates in her bid to become the top Democrat on the House Oversight Committee. She ultimately withdrew from the race.
In a video posted following the internal vote by the House Democratic Steering and Policy Committee, Crockett acknowledged, “I placed last in the recommendation from steering policy. And so with that, I am not going to be playing full caucus for a vote tomorrow.”
Crockett blamed the loss on “recent questions about something that just wasn’t true,” offering no details but insisting, “I’m always loud and proud about everything that I have to say. But it did cause me some issues for sure.” She added, “I’m going to gracefully bow out because it just kind of is what it is, right? Like it just is what it is.”
The Texas Democrat officially announced her candidacy on June 3, issuing a passionate statement criticizing the Trump administration and pledging to mount a strong resistance if elected. “The magnitude of these unprecedented times warrants a resistance and tactics never before seen,” she wrote in her campaign letter to colleagues, promising to “pull back the curtain on the unmitigated chaos under Trump 2.0.” However, when all was said and done, Crockett couldn’t even get the support of her own colleagues.
