The state lawmaker leads his opponent by four percentage points, 47% to 43%
State Rep. James Talarico is beating Rep. Jasmine Crockett in Texas’ Democratic primary for the U.S. Senate, according to a new poll.
The survey was shared by JT Ennis, a spokesman for Talarico. It showed that the lawmaker had a 4-point advantage before his interview with Stephen Colbert, which stirred controversy after not being aired on the late show television. Talarico claimed it was the Trump administration who blocked the airing of the interview and called it “the most dangerous kind of cancel culture.”
Conducted by Impact Research among 800 likely voters in the Democratic primary, the survey showed Talarico getting 47% of the support, compared to Crockett’s 43%. 9% of respondents said they were undecided.
What about him do you like more than Jasmine? She’s a fuckin firecracker. I love her. Never heard of this other dude.
He says Israel has committed war crimes. Crockett has said that Hamas committed war crimes, but I have never heard her actually say that Israel has committed war crimes. She’s aggressive, but what does she actually stand for?
I do, or did too. But I frankly like how Talarico packages his points much better and in a way that reaches “moderate” or Independent swing-voters more effectively.
I also saw Crockett took a $25k trip paid for by AIPAC and that’s a deal-breaker alone for me. Though Talarico took took money from Adelson’s pac before he went viral, it seems that was related to casinos. Both imperfect, I guess.
Watch some of his recent speeches, or the videos that made him viral this past year. He has fully embraced the Fight Oligarchy strategy of AOC and Sanders.
Jasmine Crockett being better / more aggressive in a debate doesn’t make her better on policy. She’s the establishment choice in this primary, an AIPAC-compromised ghoul with a snazzy coat of paint. Roasting Republicans with sick burns on fox news doesn’t wash the Palestinian blood from her hands, and she’ll keep up the appearance of fighting while caving at every opportunity to corporate interests.
