The battle for control of the United States Senate is on.
Democrats instantly realized they had made a big mistake.
And that’s because Ken Paxton ripped James Talarico to shreds by exposing this embarrassing truth.
Trump-endorsed Texas State Attorney General Ken Paxton crushed RINO incumbent Senator John Cornyn in the primary runoff by a staggering 28 points.
Cornyn refused to endorse Trump’s 2024 campaign initially and called Trump unelectable.
Conservatives also drummed Cornyn out of office for writing Joe Biden’s gun grab bill and declaring he was running for another term so he could pass amnesty for tens of millions of illegal aliens.
Pacton will now take on the Democratic nominee James Talarico in the general election.
Talarico and his media allies are trying to present him to the public as a smiling moderate who can relate to white working-class voters because he is supposedly a pastor.
Republicans plan to counteract that messaging by exposing Talarico as another woke, radical, out-of-touch liberal elitist.
Talarico openly states that God is non-binary and the Bible is pro-abortion.
In his victory speech, Paxton aimed at Talarico, mocking him as a vegan and tagging him with the nicknames “Tofu Talarico,” “Talafreako,” and “Low T Talarico.”

Ridiculing Talarico as a vegan is going to stand out as a signature line of attack to paint Talarico as plain weird in a BBQ-heavy Texas.
In a State Senate campaign, Talarico boasted that he was running a “vegan” campaign.
“I am proud to say that our campaign has officially become a non-meat campaign,” Talarico declared. “We are only buying vegan products from our local vegan businesses.”
Talarico also expressed the type of anti-white racism that critics contend runs deep in the Democrat Party when he wrote in 2020 that being born white automatically makes you a racist.
“White skin gives me and every white American immunity from the virus. But we spread it wherever we go—through our words, our actions, and our systems. We don’t have to be showing symptoms—like a white hood or a Confederate flag—to be contagious.” Talarico posted on X.
Talarico will likely raise a record-setting amount of cash as Democrats pour money into Texas, targeting the race as one of the GOP-held seats the party needs to flip to regain the majority.
But no amount of money may be able to overcome the fact that Talarico, whose views on race, gender, and veganism, is a better cultural fit for a deep blue state like California than a ruby red stronghold like Texas.
