Big Tent, Big Stakes: Rep. Jasmine Crockett on Power, Policy & Pushing Back - The Beat - MSNBC



Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett joins The Beat on MSNBC for a wide-ranging interview on Democratic leadership, grassroots power, and the urgent need to connect bold policy with real communication. She highlights wins like student loan relief, the child tax credit, and the CHIPS Act—while calling out the party’s struggle to tell that story.

Crockett also addresses the challenges of a “big tent” party, and why some are too quick to compromise. From migrant detention centers and FDA staffing cuts to aviation safety and government transparency, she outlines her sharp oversight agenda. When power ignores the people, it’s up to us to hold it accountable. - Aired on 05/01/2025.
