'''James Talarico''' is a [[Texas]] [[Democrat]] [[white supremacist]] and State Senator who ran in the 2026 [[primary election]] to become the nominee for the [[U.S. Senate]] election,<ref>https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2026-election/viral-dispute-mediocre-comment-exposes-racial-divides-democrats-texas-rcna257284</ref> which is currently held by [[Republican]] [[John Cornyn]].
Talarico's opponents in the Democrat primary, which will be held on March 3, 2026, are [[Jasmine Crockett]] (known for her "fake ghetto" persona; she grew up attending elite schools in [[St. Louis]]) and Ahmad Hassan (who is generally considered an "also-ran" candidate). Talarico is was considered the front-runner in the Democrat primary, polling nine points over Crockettuntil his [[racist]] comments about a primary opponent became public. Were he to win the primary, he polls roughly even with Texas Attorney General [[Ken Paxton]] but behind Congressman [[Wesley Hunt]] and even worse against Cornyn.
Talarico is a former [[Presbyterian]] seminarian who is the grandson of a [[Baptist]] minister. Talarico often refers to the [[Bible]] to try to justify his [[Leftist]] political positions. But Talarico favors expanding [[gambling]] in [[Texas]], particularly [[casino]]s.
