U.S. Representative Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) made headlines on Sunday with a bold political prediction and a declaration of her intent to seek a powerful congressional leadership role. During an appearance on MSNBC, Crockett discussed the Democratic Party’s prospects in the upcoming election and shared key investigations she hopes to pursue if Democrats retake control of the House of Representatives.
Crockett, known for her outspoken and sharp-witted commentary, didn’t hold back during her interview. Responding to President Donald Trump’s latest speech at West Point, the Texas congresswoman quipped, “Trump needs some ADHD medication.”
Turning to policy and legislative matters, Crockett expressed confidence in a Democratic resurgence. “We are poised to retake the House of Representatives,” she predicted, signaling optimism about her party’s performance in the 2024 elections, and told Rolling Stone.

Should Democrats regain the majority, Crockett revealed her intention to launch investigations into several Trump-related matters. At the top of her list: potential constitutional violations related to a Qatari private jet Trump allegedly received, and suspicious “business deals” involving a recent anonymous cryptocurrency investor event hosted by the president.
“There are serious concerns about constitutional boundaries being crossed and financial dealings that demand oversight,” she explained. In a moment that caught even the show’s host off guard, Crockett casually mentioned her aspirations to lead the powerful House Oversight Committee, a position recently left vacant after the passing of longtime Democrat Rep. Gerry Connolly.
The host responded with surprise: “Did you make a little news here? Did you say you hope to lead that committee?” Crockett confirmed, “I absolutely do.” Currently serving as a prominent member of the committee, Crockett has built a reputation for her assertiveness and thorough approach to oversight and accountability. Her pursuit of the chair position signals a desire to take a more central role in holding officials and institutions to account, particularly if Democrats reclaim control of the chamber.

As the 2024 election dust begins to settle and the power dynamics in Congress shift, Crockett’s rising profile suggests she may soon become one of the most influential figures in Washington’s oversight and investigative landscape.
