James Talarico Hit With New Scandal As Once-Promising Senate Campaign Faces Relentless Pushback

Published

Texas Democrat James Talarico appears to be scrubbing his campaign website as the general election heats up.

The Democratic nominee in the Texas U.S. Senate race quietly removed the endorsement page from his campaign site after advancing out of the primary. The page previously highlighted support from a slate of far-left organizations and activist groups across the Lone Star State.

An archived version of Talarico’s website, captured on the day of the Democratic primary, showed endorsements from groups including Houston LGBTQ+ Political Caucus, the 134 PAC, Stonewall Democrats, and Mothers Against Greg Abbott. The page vanished after Talarico secured the nomination and moved into the general election phase of the race.

Several of the organizations that backed Talarico have promoted progressive policies around gender ideology and activism involving children. Some have supported transgender policies for minors, advocated for “drag queen story hours” aimed at young audiences, and pushed Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion initiatives across Texas.

Another group supporting Talarico, the Stonewall Democrats, has said it intends to focus on “holding candidates accountable” if they stray from its agenda on transgender issues, Townhall reported. Talarico was previously recorded making bizarre comments about “trans kids.”

Other backing came from the Waco chapter of Indivisible, which has blasted federal immigration enforcement. The group previously described ICE operations targeting criminal illegal immigrants as a “Terror Machine” and labeled the Minneapolis surge as an “invasion.”

Mothers Against Greg Abbott, another group listed on Talarico’s now-removed endorsement page, has also taken aim at immigration authorities. The organization once referred to ICE agents as “monsters” in a campaign advertisement while promoting merchandise tied to its political activism.

Despite the page’s removal, Talarico’s critics say the endorsements remain part of his political record as he heads into the general election.

The state representative is set to face either incumbent Sen. John Cornyn or Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton in November.
