James Talarico pulled off a D+67 shift from 2024 with young men in Texas.
It was the largest swing toward a Democrat among men under 30 in any battleground Senate race.

James Talarico welcomes Mark Cuban into his political movement on the condition that wealthy supporters accept higher taxes and less influence over politics
“They used their wealth to help working people. And not just through charity, but by changing the systems that make charity necessary.”
“Mark, I've told every wealthy person I come across in this race, if you are okay with getting taxed more, if you're okay with me limiting your influence in politics, you are welcome to join this movement that we are building.”
“And I know my next dollar isn't going to change my life, but it can sure change a lot of other people's lives. And that's the way I try to live.”

Arizona Democrats just flipped control of the state legislature. This was decades in the making, and it’ll make a huge difference as we fight to lower costs, protect public schools, and deliver for working families.

El-Sayed on Trump and Stephen Miller: "He decides to hire the most broken man to continue to run the most dysfunctional White House we've seen. I don't know what Stephen Miller has actually contributed to our culture, our society, in any real way, except to make us more angry and stoke the worst kind of fear and vitriol."

Democrats are now set to win 56 Senate seats.
The last time Republicans had a majority that size was 1929.

"I think it would be a mistake to interpret this election result in Texas as a shift in the partisanship of the state," Talarico told me.

Two years after President Donald Trump carried much of the country’s political map, voters in some of his strongest states delivered a dramatic reversal.
Democrats flipped seven Republican-held Senate seats, including in states Trump won by double digits in 2024. The shifts were enormous: The Democratic margin improved by more than 25 percentage points in Texas and more than 20 points in Kansas and South Carolina. cnn.it/3UHDxNG

Deeply honored to be mentioned here by sheroes @HillaryClinton and @karaswisher. Politics is indeed a relay race and I’m honored to be part of the work that helped turn Texas a beautiful shade of Blue AND to be walking in the cast of the huge shadow created by Secretary Clinton. In addition to helping our new Gov elect @GinaHinojosaTX win, I am proud to have helped flip the TX State House and deliver her a chamber that will support her priorities. Next up? Flipping the TX Senate… Blueprinttexaspac.com
Politics is a relay race. Shoutout to @staceyabrams, @BetoORourke, and @wendydavis for all they did to carry the baton.

New: Gov. Greg Abbott spent years trying to make school vouchers a reality in Texas, even pushing to unseat rural Republicans who stood in the way. Some lawmakers believe the effort contributed to his party's historic demise in the midterms. propub.li/3VbTDPN
