James Talarico: Ever Since My Primary Against Jasmine Crockett, My Top Priority Was ‘Healing the Divisions from That Race’

EXCERPT:

TALARICO: “Yeah, this has been our top priority since the primary, is healing the divisions from that race and bringing our coalition back together. And it’s my responsibility as the Democratic nominee to earn the trust, earn the respect, earn the votes of every black Texan. You know, the Democratic Party has a history of taking black voters for granted, of assuming that black Texans, black Americans are going to show up and vote for Democratic candidates. The fastest way to lose any election is to take voters or take communities for granted, to assume that they’re just going to support your party or support your candidate. And our campaign is doing the exact opposite. I am out there treating every black voter as a swing voter. The same is true in the Latino community. The same is true with young people.”
