Clear Facts

Texas State Rep. James Talarico defeated Rep. Jasmine Crockett in the Senate Democratic primary. Crockett, a vocal Trump critic, skipped reelection in her safe House district for the race.

Crockett ran unconventional campaign featuring late anime-style AI ad after avoiding airwaves. Talarico, former teacher pursuing divinity degree, flooded airwaves and raised $2.5 million post-Colbert appearance.

“Dangerous people should not be allowed into the country. Dangerous people should not be allowed to get guns. Texans understand this — you apparently don’t.”

Gov. Greg Abbott fired back at Talarico’s statement on Austin shooting.

“The problem here, James, is not the gun show loophole. It’s the unvetted immigrant loophole. Allowing unvetted immigrants who are hostile to America, who are loyal to our adversaries like Iran, must end. This was an act of terror, James. The way to end it is to end the.”

“You and your immigration policies would make America less safe,” Abbott posted on X, gaining 1.6 million views.

Crockett previously called Abbott “Governor Hot Wheels” and Trump “Temu Hitler.” In 2006, she rented a car with a robbery convict, leading to a lawsuit.

This outcome favors Republicans like Cornyn or Paxton in November, bolstering border security priorities.
