41. I don't believe this for one minute

Tue Feb 3, 2026, 01:00 PM

Tuesday

I've seen nothing but good things from James Talarico, and he has my vote in the primary. I personally believe he is our very best shot at getting that senate seat in November.

Would not surprised me AT ALL if the right is bringing out all the nasty lying tricks to try to make sure he does not advance through the primaries in March and is making stuff up. While all voting groups are important, Texas is 40% Hispanic, 40% White and 14% Black. I personally feel Talarico has a much better shot at being able to get votes from the first two groups vs Crockett, even though I love them both. We have seen based on Clinton and Harris running in 2016 and 2024 that misogyny and racism are huge factors and in deep red Texas ABSOLUTELY will be a factor.
