Senate Candidate James Talarico Reports Eye-Popping Fundraising Haul - But We've Seen This From Democrats Before

It’s a string of words famously uttered by Morrissey in a Smiths hit, and which should have been uttered more often by former President Joe Biden: “Stop me if you think that you’ve heard this one before.”

In Texas, the great blue savior has arrived. His name is James Talarico, a state representative who’s polling close to his Republican rivals in the U.S. Senate race and has a massive, never-before-seen fundraising haul to elect a Democrat from the Lone Star State to the upper chamber for the first time since Lloyd Bentsen’s last reelection campaign in 1988.

(The senator was less successful in his other foray in electoral politics that year, running mate to tank aficionado Michael Dukakis on the Democratic ticket.)

And, as CNN said, Talarico is gearing up to do battle with a massive war chest from donors who will pour money into the race to ensure that he has the firepower to defeat whoever the Republicans nominate.

Just like that guy, Beto What’s-His-Name. You know, the one who could sweat through a shirt in two seconds, got a bunch of money, and then lost to Sen. Ted Cruz despite the media giving him adoring coverage. That one!

From CNN on Wednesday:

Texas Democratic Senate candidate James Talarico announced a first-quarter fundraising haul of more than $27 million on Wednesday, among the largest totals reported by a US Senate candidate.

FFADS.units.IC2.lazy_load ) eval( FFADS.units.IC2.custom_ads[0].rendering_script ); } Talarico, a state representative and Presbyterian seminarian, won the Democratic nomination in March over US Rep. Jasmine Crockett. His campaign said he has raised $10 million since the March 3 primary. Democrats are hoping Talarico will be able to put reliably red Texas in play at the statewide level as they face a tough national map for Senate control that would require them to net four seats. The Democratic state representative will face the winner of a May 26 runoff in the Republican primary between incumbent Sen. John Cornyn and state Attorney General Ken Paxton.
