The state lawmaker leads his opponent by four percentage points, 47% to 43%
State Rep. James Talarico is beating Rep. Jasmine Crockett in Texas’ Democratic primary for the U.S. Senate, according to a new poll.
The survey was shared by JT Ennis, a spokesman for Talarico. It showed that the lawmaker had a 4-point advantage before his interview with Stephen Colbert, which stirred controversy after not being aired on the late show television. Talarico claimed it was the Trump administration who blocked the airing of the interview and called it “the most dangerous kind of cancel culture.”
Conducted by Impact Research among 800 likely voters in the Democratic primary, the survey showed Talarico getting 47% of the support, compared to Crockett’s 43%. 9% of respondents said they were undecided.
His website says nothing about dismantling the nuclear arsenal, which is the greatest threat to all life on earth.
His website says nothing about establishing a carbon tax or banning the burning of fossil fuels, which is the second most threat to all life on earth. In fact, he says he wants to build more fossil fuel infrastructure!
His website doesn’t say anything about stopping the Israeli genocide. In fact, he legitimizes the Israeli terrorist State, and says he wants to disarm the Palestinian government while continuing to provide Iron Dome to the Israelis (note he doesn’t say give Iron Dome to the Palestines, who are the victims of genocide from their neighbors).
He also seems to be pretty hostile to undocumented immigrants. And he seems to oppose abolition (he actually says we should give more money [“resources”] to police!)
Thanks, I was wrong. He seems to be right of center.
He’s running for a Senate seat in Texas and needs to beat a beloved lifetime Republican incumbent. Only a child wants everything all at once.
Don’t let the fascists drag you to the right.
Electing someone right of center is not acceptable.
