WASHINGTON, D.C. — The National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) released the following statement after Texas State Representative James Talarico announced he would enter the Texas Democrat primary for U.S. Senate:
“When your best options are an out-of-touch Harvard liberal and a party-line backer, it’s no surprise why Texas Democrats keep begging crazy radical Jasmine Crockett to run for Senate,” said NRSC Communications Director Joanna Rodriguez. “John Cornyn will beat any and all of these woke Democrat clowns, ensuring Texas stays red and President Trump’s Senate Majority remains intact.”
James Talarico is a Harvard educated, far-left radical that’s out-of-touch with Texas:
- Talarico said that Zohran Mamdani’s campaign “was one of the most exciting” and that he has the “template for Democrats across the country.”
- Talarico gave an “amen” to an interviewer saying “I strongly believe it’s nobody’s business” what trans people do with their bodies.
- Talarico said that he will “firmly oppose any attempts” to “regulate bathrooms” for biological men wanting to use the women’s restroom.
- Talarico called a pro-life agenda “the Christian Taliban” and said that we are “sleepwalking into theocracy.”
- Talarico was endorsed in 2024 by an organization that says police are “the ultimate agent of white supremacy.”
- Talarico supports gun control legislation, including universal background checks.
