What Texas Democrats Risk With Their Senate Pick
Why Democrats nominated James TalaricoDemocratic leaders in Texas picked James Talarico because he energizes their base and talks a big game on cultural issues.
He has backed policies that expand abortion access and support gender ideology in schools. That appeals to a certain wing of the party that wants bold, uncompromising candidates.
The risk for Democrats is clear. Texas is still a conservative state in many places and nominating someone with extreme positions could make general election voters think twice before switching sides.
Mollie Hemingway’s blunt assessment:
Conservative commentator Mollie Hemingway told viewers on FOX News that Talarico is so far left it would be hard to elect him even in San Francisco. That is a sharp critique meant to highlight how out of step his positions are with mainstream voters.
Hemingway pointed to his record leading fights over trans policies in the state legislature and his calls for widespread federal roles in abortion, arguing those views are a long shot in Texas politics.
