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 Ahmed Hassan (an also-ran candidate). Talarico is considered the front-runner in the Democrat primary, polling nine points over Crockett.  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.
