James Talarico is a Texas Democrat white supremacist[1] and State Senator who ran in the 2026 primary election to become the nominee for the U.S. Senate election,[2] which is currently held by Republican John Cornyn.
Talarico defeated Rep. Jasmine Crockett in an alleged upset in the Texas Democrat primary[3] and Ahmad Hassan (who is generally considered an "also-ran" candidate) in the March 2026 primary. Talarico was considered the front-runner in the Democrat primary until his racist comments about a primary opponent became public.[4] 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 casinos.
| “ | Talarico’s positions are discordant with many other Christians, progressive or conservative. ... Talarico has received tens of thousands of dollars from a political action committee (PAC) backed by GOP megadonor Miriam Adelson. Although Adelson is perhaps best known for her Israel advocacy, her and her late husband’s wealth is tied up in casinos.[5] | ” |
