James Talarico Launches Campaign for Senate

"Talarico, a rising star among Texas Democrats, has made a name for himself through a string of viral social media moments that show him drawing on his Christian faith while he spars with Republican colleagues and conservative media hosts, covering topics like school vouchers and Texas’ new policy of requiring the Ten Commandments to be displayed in public school classrooms. His videos on TikTok regularly earn millions of views, and he notched a coveted appearance earlier this summer on Joe Rogan’s top-rated podcast show."

This guy is someone to watch. He can go toe to toe with the religious crazies because he has the theological knowledge to immediately cite scripture for what it is. He has insisted that one religion should not be elevated above another.
