Texas state Rep. James Talarico drew republican backlash after a photo surfaced showing him eating meat, reigniting scrutiny of his past “nonmeat” campaign tied to climate-change activism. The article notes a 2022 video in which Talarico explained his vegan stance and that his campaign had become nonmeat, with his spokesman countering the narrative in a tongue-in-cheek response. Despite the controversy, Talarico advanced to the general election in the Texas Senate race, set to face John Cornyn or Ken Paxton after defeating Jasmine Crockett in the Democratic primary. GOP figures including Cornyn, Cruz, Roy, and Gill mocked his meat-free past, and the national party even posted a satirical cover in response. Trump has not endorsed either candidate yet, though NBC News reports he is leaning toward cornyn, suggesting either GOP candidate could defeat a perceived weak Talarico.
