Talarico moves to win over constituency that may not be fully sold on him
Texas Democratic Senate candidate James Talarico is actively seeking to gain support from Black voters to improve his chances of defeating Attorney General Ken Paxton in the upcoming 2024 election, where texas voted heavily for Trump. This effort is notable given the recent primary contest against Black candidate Jasmine Crockett, who claimed the race was racially charged adn questioned whether Black voters are enthusiastic about Talarico’s campaign this cycle.
Texas Democratic Senate nominee James Talarico is working overtime to win over black voters, a crucial demographic if he is to score an upset win over Attorney General Ken Paxton in the state President Donald Trump won by 14 points in 2024.
Talarico’s outreach comes on the heels of a bitter primary against Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX), who is black, in which she alleged that the contest between her and Talarico was a “racist race.” Crockett has suggested the state representative does not have black voter support locked up, adding she didn’t “think that there is excitement” from black voters in Texas this cycle.
