WASHINGTON, D.C. — Socialist Zohran Mamdani is not just winning in New York City, but has become the blueprint for radical Democrats in messy primaries across the nation. In Texas, James Talarico is modeling his campaign after Mamdani’s in an effort to win Texas Democrats’ messy primary.
“James Talarico is modeling his campaign after Mamdani’s to pull ahead in the primary against Colin Allred and Jasmine Crockett,” said NRSC Regional Press Secretary Samantha Cantrell. “Texans will never allow a copy-cat Mamdani like Talarico to represent them in the U.S. Senate.”
James Talarico is modeling his campaign after Mamdani’s:
- Talarico said that Zohran’s campaign “was one of the most exciting” and a “template for Democrats across the country.”
- Talarico campaigns on the redistribution of wealth.
- Talarico does not support state or local police assisting federal immigration law enforcement.
- Talarico was endorsed in 2024 by an organization that says police are “the ultimate agent of white supremacy.”
- Talarico said that he will “firmly oppose any attempts” to keep biological men out of women’s bathrooms.
- Talarico gave an “Amen” to an interviewer saying “the right really wants is for centrist Democrats to throw trans children… under the bus. I strongly believe its nobody’s goddamn business…”
- Talarico has claimed that “God is nonbinary.”
- Talarico called the war Hamas started a “moral disaster” for Democrats, and that naming Israel’s actions as “genocide” distracts “from the immediate goal, which is stopping the human suffering in Gaza.”
