Episode Details

Texas State Representative James Talarico, a Democrat from Austin, is running for the U.S. Senate seat in Texas, drawing parallels to Beto ORourkes campaign with a strong grassroots effort and over thirty thousand volunteers. Despite criticism for using the Bible to support his progressive views, Talarico defends it as a reflection of his faith-driven politics focused on helping the poor, sick, and needy. A Talarico victory would mark the first statewide win for a Democrat in Texas in over three decades. On the Republican side, Senator John Cornyn and Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton are set to face off in a primary runoff, with the winner challenging Talarico in the general election.
