The model doesn't capture suburban college-educated women (energized), an October Paxton scandal (he has the raw material), or national Dem money flooding in. Talarico is the real deal. Go give him money. #Talarico #txsen #Texas2026 secure.actblue.com/donate/jt-tx...

All three scenarios: Paxton wins. But all are closer than 2018. The best case is the tightest Texas Senate race in a generation. This doesn't flip on its own. Democrats have to fight like hell. #txsen #Texas2026 #Talarico

INBOX: first reported by @[email protected], former President George W. Bush made a maximum individual donation of $5,000 to Sen. John Cornyn's campaign on March 13th (and listed his occupation as “former President”.) My take: this #TXSEN GOP runoff will not be close. It's Paxton's to lose.

Here are the reasons why James Talarico, candidate for Senator from Texas, "is well-positioned for the general election in November":

Winning will not be easy, but a Democrat winning this Senate seat is more likely than it had been for many years.

I've seen enough: James Talarico (D) wins the #TXSEN Dem primary.
-
I've seen enough: Sen. John Cornyn (R) and Ken Paxton (R) advance to a GOP runoff in #TXSEN.
-
And, Talarico (D) takes the raw vote lead w/ a 76%-23% rout of Crockett (D) in Travis. Co. (Austin). This isn't on track to be a blowout, but he's the clear favorite. #TXSEN
-
Crockett (D) wins Harris Co. (Houston) early vote 54%-45% over Talarico (D), but that's not good enough w/ Talarico dominating heavily Hispanic counties. #TXSEN
-
As expected, Talarico (D) dominating Austin area home base, winning Hays Co. 74%-26%. He's the heavy favorite based on everything we've seen so far. #TXSEN
-
And, Talarico (D) wins the Nueces Co. (Corpus Christi) early vote 62%-36% over Crockett (D), the first indication he's winning Hispanic voters. If that's the case elsewhere, he's the heavy favorite to win. #TXSEN

"Rep. Jasmine Crockett is taking a harder line on the political journalists covering her Texas Senate campaign, ejecting an Atlantic reporter from an event and calling the Capitol Police on a CNN journalist attempting to visit one of her offices, according to three people familiar with the incidents":

About the lively primary campaign between Jasmine Crockett and James Talarico, both seeking to be elected to the Senate from Texas:

"When asked who is better positioned to appeal to the broader coalition needed to win statewide in November, Talarico holds a slight advantage." #TXSen -
For the primaries in Texas, early voting starts tomorrow, on February 17. Candidates for the Senate are James Talarico versus Jasmine Crockett for the Democrats, and John Cornyn versus Ken Paxton for the Republicans. In my opinion Ken Paxton is a dangerous extremist. He could get elected. Defeating him is so important that the candidate with the best chance of winning should oppose him. That candidate is James Talarico.

James Talarico (candidate for the Senate): "I'm announcing my plan to take on our broken, corrupt political system:
Ban corporate PACs and super PACs,
Ban lawmakers from trading stocks,
And require every member of Congress to hold annual town halls.
This is how we build a government of, by, and for the people."

James Talarico (candidate for the Senate) said especially to Gen Z: “You may not be interested in politics, but politics is interested in you. Your boss cares about politics. Your landlord cares about politics. Your insurance company cares about politics. And until you care about politics, they're going to keep using the political system to screw you over.”

"I don't know if [Cruz] was too busy podcasting or whatever," Lauren Miller said. "But he certainly wasn't there to do his job."
“In contrast, Allred personally met with her for an hour. ‘That’s the kind of representative I want—somebody who will actually listen.’” https://www.jezebel.com/texas-abortion-ban-survivor-says-ted-cruz-was-no-show-to-her-congressional-testimony #TXSen

During his recent debate against Allred, Ted Cruz was given three chances to clarify his views on whether abortion bans should include rape or incest exceptions. He refused to directly answer the questions. https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-news/ted-cruz-colin-allred-debate-abortion-exceptions-1235134866/ #TXSen

Vice President Kamala Harris to rally in Texas on Friday with Senate candidate Colin Allred with focus on abortion rights.
“While in Texas, Harris will also sit for an interview with podcaster Brene Brown, who has over five million followers on Instagram.”

“Why is this an issue you won’t address, about saying whether you support or oppose exceptions for rape and incest,” debate moderator Gromer Jeffers again pressed.
“Why do you keep asking me that,” responded an exasperated Ted Cruz. https://newrepublic.com/post/187204/ted-cruz-abortion-colin-allred-texas-senate-debate #TXSen

“As polls show his race tightening, Sen. Ted Cruz is lashing out at national Republicans for not doing more to help him in his battle against Democrat Colin Allred,” the Houston Chronicle reports.
“Cruz told Fox News he’s being massively outspent by Allred on the airwaves and couldn’t even afford to get his own ads on TV until three weeks ago. And he complained Senate Republican Leader […]

“You’re not pro-life,” Rep. Colin Allred slammed. “It’s not pro-life to deny women care so long that they can’t have children anymore. It’s not pro-life to force a victim of rape to carry their rapists’ baby. It’s not pro-life that our maternal mortality rate has skyrocketed up by 56 percent. That’s not pro-life, senator.
So to every Texas woman at home, every Texas family watching this: understand that when Ted Cruz says he’s pro-life, he doesn’t mean yours.” #TXSen

During last night’s #TXSen debate, Ted Cruz was given three chances to clarify his views on whether abortion bans should include rape or incest exceptions.
He did not answer.

“So to every Texas woman at home and every Texas family watching this, understand that when Ted Cruz says he’s pro life, he doesn’t mean yours.

Facing a tight race, Cruz has gone quiet on abortion.
“Cruz, through a spokesperson, declined a request for an interview. The Texas Tribune reached out to his campaign eight times over six weeks to ask about his positions …”

The Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee has announced "a new multi-million dollar investment in television advertising for the Texas and Florida Senate races."
"The investment will supplement TV advertising from the Allred and Mucarsel-Powell campaigns. In both states, the ads will focus on holding Cruz and Scott accountable for their unpopular records and agenda."
