A Dallas congresswoman opened her Senate campaign by telling voters that she “has gone toe to toe with Donald Trump.” Her Democratic primary opponent insisted that Americans are tired of “politics as a blood sport.”
The divergent approach highlights how U.S. Rep. Jasmine Crockett and state Rep. James Talarico are navigating a race where Democrats hope to break a three-decade losing streak in Texas. It also reflects a broader divide within the party, with some candidates continuing to focus on Trump while others barely mention his name on the trail.
Figuring out the best approach will be critical for Democrats who are grasping for a path back to power in the upcoming midterm elections, which will determine control of Congress, and are already maneuvering for the next presidential race.
In her campaign launch video, Crockett was silent as audio of Trump’s insults played, including multiple times that he's called her a “very low-IQ person.” At the end of the video, she breaks out into a smile.
Talarico charts a different course
Talarico has built a following with a less combative style. The former teacher-turned-pastor and state legislator gained attention by posting viral social media content challenging Republicans’ claims to Christian values. He has focused little on Trump or other politicians.
“The biggest divide in our country is not left versus right. It’s top versus bottom,” Talarico said in his campaign launch video.
There are echoes of other Democratic successes this year, such as when gubernatorial candidates won in New Jersey and Virginia by focusing on affordability concerns.

Tip: quit making this sbout Trump. The Dems are the ones hell bent of taking him down. Make this about the people. “Affordability “ is code word for “equity”
All the more reason Senators should be appointed as intended, not elected.
I can think of many reasons that no one should vote for the wannabe hood rat
You got two more losers right there.
Affordability is a distraction from 4 years of Biden.
How does she wipe her butt with those nails? They might be an advantage for nose mining.
The Instant Gratification voter doesn’t care. Telling them that getting out of the disaster the Dem policies created will take time isn’t working. The Debt spiral 🌀 will accelerate if the Left gets Congress. The value of the Dollar will fall. The blame games continue.
This country is literally going to have to stare into the abyss before substantial change happens.
“How does she wipe her butt with those nails? They might be an advantage for nose mining.”
Same principle.
