Talarico Enters Texas Senate Race | JQJO

Texas State Rep. James Talarico is launching a US Senate campaign, challenging Republican Sen. John Cornyn in the Democratic primary. He joins former Rep. Colin Allred and potentially Beto O'Rourke in the race. Talarico, known for his viral videos opposing Republican policies and his participation in a legislative boycott, aims to capitalize on a potentially weakened GOP field, with Attorney General Ken Paxton facing a contentious primary. Democrats see Texas as a possible pickup, despite its historically Republican leanings, hoping to exploit divisions within the Republican party.
