Cruz: Talarico Could Win Texas Senate Race

No Texas Democrat has won a statewide race since 1994. But Texas Senator Ted Cruz warns James Talarico could bring that 32 year streak to an end.

Calling in to Sean Hannity’s radio show on KTRH, Cruz said Talarico has a legitimate shot at flipping Texas this year.

“Unfortunately, I do think he has a real chance,” Cruz told Gov. Greg Abbott, who guest hosted the three-hour talk radio program. “I think this is a real race. I think it’s going to be close. I think we’re going to win, I think we’re going to keep Texas red, but the polling right now shows this is a 1- or 2-point race.”

Cruz went on to call Talarico “radical” and “extreme” for labeling God nonbinary, saying there are six recognized sexes and previously running a “non-meat” reelection campaign.
