Veteran Democratic strategist James Carville and his co-host Al Hunt agreed last Thursday that Texas’ Democratic Senate candidate James Talarico needs to walk back his past comments if he wants to win in the Lone Star State.
Talarico, the co-hosts agreed, is in a strong position to score a historic victory in Texas if he plays his cards right. They previously cheered his victory over Rep. Jasmine Crockett, to be the Democrat’s nominee, saying he would likely push the same policies as Crockett but without sharing her history of controversial comments.
However, some of his past statements on race, gender ideology, abortion, and religion are now causing headaches for his campaign.
“I think Talarico has to be smart, and he has to be aggressive. As you just suggested, the GOP already aired an ad accusing him of saying all kinds of weird things,” Hunt said.
