I would be SHOCKED if racist misogynistic Texas elects a Black woman to the senate. Even with Talarico, it will be a long shot and will require democrats busting their butts getting the vote out. The one silver lining is if Crockett by some miracle did win in November, it would forever put to rest the argument that we have to have a white straight christian male candidate for president in 2028, which I keep seeing argued over and over, that it has to be Andy Beshear, or Prtizer, or Chris Murphy, or a handful or other ho hum people I have no interest in voting for. If Crockett were to win, that argument gets thrown out the window and now we CAN have a gay man nominee in 2028. We CAN have a woman nominee in 2028. Would love to see a Buttigieg/AOC ticket, if that is the case.
But again, I'm pulling for Talarico and hoping he wins the March primary.
