James Talarico barely mentioned Donald Trump when he finally got to give his victory speech on Wednesday night as Democrats’ nominee for U.S. Senate in Texas.
But the 36-year-old state lawmaker is now a front man for the left’s opposition to Trump, not just in his own state but around the country. With his victory over U.S. Rep. Jasmine Crockett, the state lawmaker from Austin will test whether a smiling message of unity and change is enough to answer voters’ frustrations amid discord at home and now a war abroad.
“We’re done being divided. We’re done being played,” Talarico said, several times invoking his Christian faith and promising a “politics of love.”
“We’re not just trying to win an election. We are trying to fundamentally change our politics,” he said, adding that he’s “tired of being told to hate my neighbor.”
Talarico acknowledged that his immediate challenge is consolidating support from Crockett’s supporters who flocked to the congresswoman’s unapologetically pugilistic approach to Trump and Republicans. He told them, “I hope to earn your trust.”
Crockett conceded to Talarico on Wednesday morning, saying that Texas “must remain united because this is bigger than any one person.”
Talarico also got an endorsement and a fundraising email blast from former Vice President Kamala Harris, who previously backed Crockett in the primary.

A smarmy phony who reminds me most strongly of John Edwards, now forgotten but once considered serious presidential timber on the Democrat side.

Correct.
James Talarico said there are “six sexes” but didnt
mention which ones need “tax-financed abortions.”
Watch how the msm embraces Talarico now that Crockett isn’t in his way. They’re going to Beto him, inflate his poll numbers and make him sound like he has a chance. He’s a Pete Buttigieg wannabe. 36 years old and still single.
Beto 2.0. But with even limper wrists
What a puff piece by the Ass Press.
hes a kook jim
Typical disgraceful “journalism” from the AP. There is absolutely no scrutiny of Talarico’s record, and no questioning of his claim to be a moderate or middle of the road. Meanwhile, Paxton is referred to as a “firebrand.”
This is who Democrats just nominated as their senate candidate.
“James Talarico ... will test whether a smiling message of unity and change is enough to answer voters’ frustrations amid discord at home and now a war abroad.”
Here’s his real message.

Kinda doubt that message will be as popular as some think it will be.

Have to keep telling everyone this... AP always seems to fly under the radar of MSM liberal bias, but they may actually be the worst.
Telefreako winning the primary shows that Texas has a lot of retarded voters. Telefreako is a retarded jackass. “Airplane mechanic” my arse.
Another “rising star.”
“Racist democrats reject smartest ever blackkkkk womyn for senate candidate. If you blackkkk, don’t vote for tallyreeko.”
This is not journalism. This is full servicing him.
Talarico better not get too cocky. He beat the most beatable candidate possible.
