The Texas Senate race is facing turmoil as candidate James Talarico denies allegations of making a racist comment about his former opponent, Colin Allred, referring to him as a ‘mediocre Black man.’ This accusation has drawn sharp criticism from Allred, who has decided to endorse Jasmine Crockett instead. The controversy has intensified tensions in the Democratic primary, with both Allred and Crockett publicly condemning Talarico’s alleged remarks. While Talarico dismissed the claims as a ‘mischaracterization of a private conversation,’ the fallout has placed his campaign in a precarious position. The incident has become a focal point in the unfolding political drama as candidates navigate sensitive racial issues within the party.
