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.
Long as they help promote each other after this election, it is good for them to compete. IMO, a good election is like a good game show: it gathers people together, and makes them feel excited about the possibilities. We need that energy from our good politicians, it makes people say “these folks can do stuff!”
Whoever wins this election, should help their opposite number get into a high office. Simple as that.
