Tired of losing statewide, Texas Democrats say they want a fighter to flip a GOP-held Senate seat this year. U.S. Rep. Jasmine Crockett and state Rep. James Talarico are vying for it in a primary that so far has been an ice cream and cake affair,

Jasmine Crockett is a two-term member of Congress and former state representative running for the Democratic nomination for U.S. Senate. She is well-known for her outspoken stance on issues. She is a progressive who said she's connecting with Texans across the state, in cities and the rural parts of Texas.

Texas Democrat James Talarico said atheists are more “Christ-like” than Christian lawmakers, prompting scrutiny of his claims against Christian doctrine.

DALLAS — Democratic state Rep. James Talarico used a national television appearance Monday to trace the roots of his politics, defend his legislative record and argue he can win the race for Senate by building a broad coalition.

James Talarico said Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett had told him she was “focused on her work in the Congress and was looking at running in 2030” when asked if she had planned to run in the upcoming Senate primary.

Democrats Jasmine Crockett and James Talarici differed more on style than substance in their first debate for U.S. Senate in heavily Republican Texas.

The pro-Cornyn Super Pac Texans for a Conservative Majority reported $5 million in cash as of Dec. 31. By contrast the Super Pac supporting Ken Paxton's senate campaign reported $2.8 million.

Allred took to X on Monday to respond to a now-viral video posted by political content creator Morgan Thompson, in which the creator alleged that Talarico remarked during a one-on-one conversation with her in mid-January.
