The state lawmaker leads his opponent by four percentage points, 47% to 43%
State Rep. James Talarico is beating Rep. Jasmine Crockett in Texas’ Democratic primary for the U.S. Senate, according to a new poll.
The survey was shared by JT Ennis, a spokesman for Talarico. It showed that the lawmaker had a 4-point advantage before his interview with Stephen Colbert, which stirred controversy after not being aired on the late show television. Talarico claimed it was the Trump administration who blocked the airing of the interview and called it “the most dangerous kind of cancel culture.”
Conducted by Impact Research among 800 likely voters in the Democratic primary, the survey showed Talarico getting 47% of the support, compared to Crockett’s 43%. 9% of respondents said they were undecided.
that’s a shame, we have enough christian white men in the senate.
While I understand the point you are trying to make, Talarico is not the problem. He’s a genuine, solid candidate that functions based on empathy and love. I have been impressed any time I watch his speeches.
I think he’s got a real chance of flipping Texas blue. He’s a much stronger pick than Crockett against Cornyn or Paxton, whichever ends up their pick, which is why GOP really wants to see Crockett win this primary.
Plus he does not take AIPAC
It should speak volumes that nothing scares the GOP and the FCC more than someone preaching actual christian values instead of using them as a weapon for hate.
And is one left side so double supported
Concentrating on the person’s sex, race and/or religion plays into the right wing victimization bs.
I know it wasn’t your point, but I’d like to add that when some rightoid inevitably tries to give the impression they care about “a black woman being held back” and how racist the Democrats are it’s imperative we ignore them. They’re only trying to use our empathy against us with superficial grievances.
He actually believes in the teachings of Jesus. Which most “Christians” dont.
And there really isn’t anything to criticize about Jesus’s teachings.
Also Crockett supports Israel genocide . So. That’s a problem.
I think her stance on Israel is more complicated than that.

They’re both good candidates; neither is perfect, but it’s refreshing to have a hard time choosing tbh. We need more folks like this to get in these races.
She takes AIPAC money. That’s a lobbying group for the genocidal party in charge of a foreign state. There’s no way to wash that stink off once you’ve cashed the check.
She took indirect aipac money and went on a trip there. And has stated Israel will always be funded by the u.s.
She also denies the genocide.
Even if she hasn’t taken direct aipac money, this doesn’t absolve her of the other problems. She also takes money from super pacs. A lot. So. Billionaires also own her.
She actually has not taken AIPAC money, nor has she received an endorsement from them. I’d suggest that you do a little research before you start throwing accusations around but you know, you do you, baby!
Sure no one is perfect but there really isn’t anything to criticize about talerico except he’s super pro gambling.
We don’t have enough democrats with the right stance on Palestine though.
So primary out the ones who are on the wrong side. The rest will soon get the message.
Hopefully that’s what is happening in this race.
It certainly seems to be how it’s shaking out in Kat Abughazaleh’s race.
