James Talarico won the Democratic nomination for a US Senate seat in Texas on Tuesday, capping a remarkable rise from state lawmaker and seminary student to the party’s standard-bearer in one of the key races of the 2026 midterm cycle.

With his blend of faith-based populism, bipartisan appeal and generational energy, Talarico defeated Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett, a firebrand beloved by the party’s base but who struggled to dispel concerns that she could defeat a Republican in a state that has not elected a Democrat statewide in more than 30 years.

A jubilant Talarico told supporters in Austin before the race was called: “We are not just trying to win an election. We are trying to fundamentally change our politics. And it’s working.”

    No your just a dope anyone probably states they are a christian will always choose that over facts and science. Even looks the part. I rather have a Satanist then a christian.

    No, you’RE just a dope. Anyone WHO states they are a Christian will ?probably? ?always? (it can’t be both) choose that over facts and science. HE even looks the part. I WOULD rather have a Satanist thAn a Christian.

    If you are going to call someone a dope, then maybe don’t have nine grammatical errors in a three sentence post.
