Episode Details

John Cornyn condemned a Republican candidate's post about the University of Texas, and Democrat James Talarico publicly thanked him for it by name.

Bo French, a Republican candidate for Texas Railroad Commissioner, posted a photo of the crowd at the Texas-Ohio State game with a comment about the student body. Cornyn, who lost the Republican Senate primary to Ken Paxton and said afterward that he would support the nominee, called it intolerance and asked whether other Republicans would condemn it or let it be normalized. Talarico, the Democratic nominee, replied thanking Cornyn by name and demanding Paxton do the same. Paxton's answer went after Talarico's own record on race.

Larry O'Connor also covers Cornyn's repost of a Wall Street Journal opinion piece likening JD Vance to Zohran Mamdani, Ted Cruz getting booed at the game, the enrollment numbers across the UT system, the University Democrats at UT Austin booking Hasan Piker to speak on campus, Brian Kemp endorsing Mike Collins against Jon Ossoff in Georgia, and what the Texas polling looked like in the summer of 2020.
