Unlike others, I think she could absolutely win had she been the nominee.

I've been pulling for Talarico because he has been on my radar for a couple years. His is a unique, and uniquely effective voice against Christian Nationalism. And this is a time that Christian Nationalism has become perhaps the most serious threat to the American values that have driven every decent thing this nation has ever managed to accomplish. From the day I came across his sermon against Christian Nationalism late in 2023, I've believed his is a voice that we absolutely need on the national stage.
