James Talarico Faces Unexpected Obstacle from Within His Own Party
Dallas representative Jasmine Crockett told CNN she has no plans to join Talarico on the campaign trail.
Texas Democratic Senate hopeful James Talarico faces an unexpected obstacle from within his own party. The congresswoman he defeated in the Democratic primary, Jasmine Crockett, has stated she will not campaign alongside him. Crockett, who lost the primary by about 6 points, said she has no plans to join Talarico on the campaign trail and will instead campaign downballot.
Crockett's endorsement carries extra weight for Talarico, as she lost the primary by roughly 144,500 votes out of nearly 2 million cast. However, Crockett won a significant number of Black voters. Despite this, Crockett said she expects Black voters to turn out and vote Democrat regardless of their feelings about Talarico. Talarico has expressed his appreciation for Crockett's endorsement and urged against creating more division within the party.
