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.

    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.
