      demvote splitter Talarico

      Uh, Talarico announced his primary candidacy 3 months before Crockett.

      Looking at their responses on vote411.org and comparing my stances on istandwith.com, they’re like over 90% the same. Also, their policy positions really aren’t that far apart from each other. Crockett is rated as being pro-Israel, while Talarico doesn’t really have a record on that issue. And looking at polling for the general, https://www.realclearpolling.com/elections/senate/2026/texas, they’re both pretty even against Paxton and Talarico has a statistically insignificant better chance against Cornyn than Crockett.

      Her candidacy demands doubled support in the face of regressive GOP vulnerability.

      The GOP is literally the reason she’s running…

      Meanwhile, the GOP worked behind the scenes to amplify the polls, according to the source.

      The unnamed insider told NOTUS that the GOP helped “orchestrate the pile on of these polling numbers to really drive that news cycle and that narrative that Jasmine Crockett was surging in Texas.”

      The mammoth effort even included an “AstroTurf recruitment process,” which blitzed progressive digital spaces with the polls.

      Recruitment phone calls and text messages were also sent to voters, urging them to encourage Crockett to run.

      “That was really a sustained effort that we orchestrated across the ecosystem for several months,” the source said. “Not only was it getting positive news coverage, but her office was directly having traffic driven to it in terms of phone calls urging her to run.”
