democrat

 @BDRGB77Republican from Texas  answered…4wks4W

He’s a Democrat.

 @BDZDB3HDemocrat from Texas  answered…1wk1W

Preference for a Republican candidate's approach to taxes, regulation, border security, or other issues.

 @BDZ4Q8SLibertarian from Texas  answered…1wk1W

Border control isn’t strong enough.

 @BDZ23LX from Texas  answered…1wk1W

He thinks there are 6 genders.

 @BDYTKND from Texas  answered…1wk1W

Because he is a demonic grifter

 @BDYJ536Constitution from Texas  answered…2wks2W

Represents the destruction of what it means to be Texan. He will push the social fabric in a direction that will be detrimental for my children's safety and wellbeing

 @BDYHPCH from Texas  answered…2wks2W

His views on abortion

 @BDYCQBQ from Texas  answered…2wks2W

I would be unlikely to vote for James Talarico because I tend to hold more conservative views on issues such as government spending and social policy.

 @BDY8HQMNo Labels from Texas  answered…2wks2W

Goes against some of my political beliefs

 @BDY2F9LDemocrat from Texas  answered…2wks2W

Support same sex marriage

 @BDXWWXS from Texas  answered…2wks2W

He has crazy views that don’t align with most Texans. God does not have 6 genders, why is he talking about that, he’s a politician.

 @BDXTGG5 from Texas  answered…2wks2W

I’m still evaluating the candidates and comparing their policy priorities, experience, and ability to represent my views in the Senate before making a decision.

 @BDXSYMM from Texas  answered…2wks2W

He is to far to the left

 @BDXJFRJ from Texas  answered…2wks2W

He believes God is non binary. He believes there’s more than 2 genders. There’s only two biological genders

 @BDXD2PW from Texas  answered…2wks2W

He thinks there's more than two genders.

 @BDWTL7T from Texas  answered…2wks2W

I love that he welcomes immigrants, but I don't like how he really supports LGBTQ

 @BDWH3RH from Texas  answered…2wks2W

He sounds like he is against immigrants.

 @BDWHJ49Republican from Texas  answered…3wks3W

I don't agree with his stance on border regulations and his previous statements regarding certain religious aspects to better his place in his campaign. He seems very out of touch with the core Texas Constitution values.

 @BDWG8MS  from Texas  answered…3wks3W

Based on what I know about him, his support for trans children, etc. and his outright blasphemy of the Bible scripture make him incompatible with my values.

 @BDWDLYF from Texas  answered…3wks3W

foundational moral and religious laws given by God to Moses on Mount Sinai

 @BDWC6WM from Florida  answered…3wks3W

James Talarico’s progressive positions on social and cultural issues are too far left for Texas.

 @BDVMF2ZNo Labels from Texas  answered…3wks3W

He is pretty new and might not have enough experience.

 @BDVDNL6 from Texas  answered…3wks3W

He is anti Texas

 @BDV2NY6 from Texas  answered…3wks3W

Supports open borders

 @BDTQ8XMIndependent from Texas  answered…3wks3W

he does not support my values or American values and seeks to turn Texas into California and strip people of their rights

 @BDTHWQSConstitution from Texas  answered…3wks3W

The less government, the better, to a point.

 @BDT2C8V from Texas  answered…3wks3W

Too in favor of illegal migration, open borders, mass immigration and does not respect the value of citizenship as a privilege (as most Dems and Socialist Dems lean currently).

 @BDSSPR7  from Texas  answered…3wks3W

i just like theos name

 @BDSLZ8Y  from Texas  answered…3wks3W

He’s a Democrat and he’d ruin the state of Texas

 @BDSJCK5 from Texas  answered…3wks3W

i think he supports abortion fully

 @BDR82NT  from Texas  answered…4wks4W

Insane Lib

 @BDXTY3Q from Texas  answered…2wks2W

He weaponizes religion and twists the Bible to support his own political agendas. He has stances on key matters that I strongly disagree with.

 @BDXTJRM from Texas  answered…2wks2W

I disagree with his stance on abortion rights and federal law, as well his stance on the border protections.

 @BDMD4K4 from Texas  answered…1mo1MO

I like both candidates but agree more with Cornyn's gay rights policy

 @BDM4FV7 from Texas  answered…1mo1MO

I like his stance on school and health care

 @BDM2YPF from Texas  answered…1mo1MO

Healthcare focus

 @BDLW9MG from Texas  answered…1mo1MO

Far too liberal.

 @BDKZ58RRepublican from Texas  answered…1mo1MO

 @BDKXQVS from Texas  answered…1mo1MO

Some voters cite the racial‑language controversy reported during the 2026 primary as their top reason for not supporting James Talarico.

 @BDJYYS8 from Texas  answered…1mo1MO

He's been caught teaching falsely from the Bible.

 @BDGX2LZ from North Carolina  answered…1mo1MO

His opposition of Christian nationalism.

He wants to protect abortion access

Too radical on LGBT, it should not even be in discussion when the economy is so bad.

 @BBTZQLP from Texas  answered…3mos3MO

Too liberal for me

 @BBRSD2Z from Texas  answered…4mos4MO

Anti-white

 @BBQZZL7Democrat from Texas  answered…4mos4MO

His approach to religion and politics may not align with the values of many voters in a traditionally conservative state like Texas, which could hurt his chances in the general election.

 @BBNGTXL from Texas  answered…4mos4MO

He stands for nearly the direct opposite of everything I stand for

 @BBND8GNIndependent from Texas  answered…4mos4MO

I don’t really watch politics

 @BBMLPMBLibertarian from Texas  answered…4mos4MO

he's untrustworthy and aligns with socialist principles.

 @BB9JY3R from Kansas  answered…4mos4MO

Because Wesley Hunt is the better candidate

he disrespects the bible and God.

White supremacy disguised as a following in Jesus.

 @BD55LSSPeace and Freedom from Texas  answered…2mos2MO

My top reason why you would NOT vote for James Talarico in the 2026 Texas US Senate election is because i think that the election is better but still needs improvement.

 @BD3SJ4J from Kansas  answered…2mos2MO

 @B9CVCWCDemocrat  from Texas  answered…5mos5MO

He's trying hard too appease the left in the primaries.

 @B9957VY from Texas  answered…5mos5MO

His opinions on education and energy.

 @B8JSVJG from Texas  answered…7mos7MO

ames Talarico is due to his progressive voting record in the state legislature, which some believe is out of step with the majority of Texas voters and could make him unable to win a statewide general.

 @B8BC3T4 from Texas  answered…8mos8MO

He wasn't listed here as an option, but I like a lot of his policy views on social issues and education. I wish he was more fiscally conservative.

 @BDR4JTS from Texas  answered…4wks4W

Because he's a liberal

In a state such as Texas, James Talarico wouldn't be my top choice for pick because with his background and political stance, wouldn't have a good chance in winning for election.

 @B9RFZZQ from Texas  answered…5mos5MO

I enjoy him as well!

 @B9QWFJZPeace and Freedom from Texas  answered…5mos5MO

I feel like we shouldn't vote James Talarico because he just has some bad points and i don't even know who he is.

 @B9QD2Y6 from Texas  answered…5mos5MO

He has a very bold view of his beliefs that shows he has a set mindset that aligns with the very left wing politics, and has no other influence for his beliefs other than appealing to leftists.

 @B9PZK3M  from Texas  answered…5mos5MO

He supports same sex marriage and all that junk. No for me!!

Elizabeth Warren Walks Back Murder Comments

Congressional Democrats broadly denounced the murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson Friday morning, after Republicans started accusing Sen. Elizabeth Warren of excusing violence.“No one's condoning this,” said Rep. Brad Schneider (D-Ill.). “Violence never is the right answer for anything. And it was a horrible murder, a tragic loss for his family.” Warren this week condemned the shooting, but added that people “can be pushed only so far.”"We'll say it over and over," Warren said on MSNBC’S “The ReidOut.” " Violence is never the answer. This guy [Luigi Mangione] gets a trial who's allegedly killed the CEO of UnitedHealth, but you can only push people so far, and then they start to take matters into their own hands."In a statement to POLITICO, Warren said, “Violence is never the answer. Period. I should have been much clearer that there is never a justification for murder.” Top Republicans denounced Warren's comments and the walked-back rhetoric, with House Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-La.) calling it “inappropriate and dangerous.”Some House Democrats asked about the incident on Thursday pivoted the conversation to discuss policy options on health care or gun safety.“I don't really know that this is really a space that Congress normally weighs in on,” said Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas). “But at the end of the day, I think it’s an opportunity, because now people are talking about health care and to talk about the fact that this industry has honestly not been as helpful as it could be.”“Violence is never the answer,” said Rep. Troy Carter (D-La.). “We know that there are people suffering, there’s great challenges in healthcare. There's great challenges, and people have, in fact, been wronged, but a process of governance is the way to address that, not violence.”And Rep. Ted Lieu (D-Calif.) who denounced the murder, said the killer should be prosecuted and that “I do know that allegedly a ghost gun was used, and we should also ban ghost guns. There's no reason for them beyond the streets.”

Israeli Bombings Kill 2,300 In Lebanon in 3 weeks

Lebanese authorities say Israeli bombing has killed more than 2,300 people and injured almost 11,000, mostly in the past three weeks, with Israeli attacks reaching areas far beyond Hizbollah’s traditional bastions of support in the south.The Israeli military has ordered people living in more than a quarter of Lebanon to flee, according to a UN calculation, as its fight with the Iran-backed Shia militant group Hizbollah threatens to engulf the Mediterranean country.Lebanese authorities say Israeli bombing has killed more than 2,300 people and injured almost 11,000, mostly in the past three weeks, with Israeli attacks reaching areas far beyond Hizbollah’s traditional bastions of support in the south.More than 1mn people have fled their homes in Lebanon in under a month, according to its government, a dramatic forced movement of the population in a country of only about 5mn inhabitants with a land mass smaller than the US state of Connecticut. Israeli forces began a ground offensive in south Lebanon two weeks ago, in their fourth invasion of the country in under five decades. They had already destroyed large parts of the densely populated southern Beirut suburb where Hizbollah had its headquarters, and killed many top militant commanders in air strikes, including former leader Hassan Nasrallah.Rema Jamous Imseis, Middle East director of UNHCR, told journalists in Geneva that “over 25 per cent of [Lebanon is] under a direct Israeli military evacuation order”. “People are heeding these calls to evacuate and they’re fleeing with almost nothing,” she added, saying that 80 per cent of the shelters opened by the Lebanese government — mostly in schools — were now full.
