## Resource

James Talarico, the Democratic Senate nominee in Texas, delivered a fiery speech at his party’s state convention, calling out billionaire donors and “narrow-minded” politics for eroding Texas’s hospitality and economic vitality. He vowed to “make Texas big again” by restoring affordability, improving schools and healthcare, and uniting the state around practical solutions—not culture wars. Meanwhile, Governor Greg Abbott’s campaign launched a playful, taco-distributing counteroffensive, branding Democrats as radical while Talarico’s ads spotlight rising costs and corruption. With polls tight and the future of Texas politics on the line, this race is shaping up to be a defining showdown. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
