NBC News projects Talarico will advance to the general election, while Sen. John Cornyn and state Attorney General Ken Paxton compete in a Republican primary runoff.
Yupp, I think thats why a lot of democrats voted for him in the primary. We know we’ll have to contend with the general population in November which skews more racist and sexist. Very unfortunate because I really liked Crockett as a candidate.
Yeah, but man I’m reading through her wiki rn and there’s some stuff I missed. Stuff like:
In March 2025, Crockett called Governor Greg Abbott, who is handicapped and uses a wheelchair, “Governor Hot Wheels”
And
In February 2026, Crockett came under criticism for seemingly using AI in a Super Bowl campaign advertisement, to generate a crowd of supporters. The criticism was first raised by Democratic strategist Keith Edwards, who claimed to have found a SynthID watermark in the ad, indicating the use of Google Gemini. In a response, Crockett’s team did not deny the allegations.
So like…maybe some of those things turned democratic voters off?
Maybe but fyi, governor Hot wheels is a pretty regular term for texas democrats to call him, so not really a completely out of left field thing to hear.

The AI thing is cringe worthy though
Hot Wheels is what we call him. Let’s not get into what we think of the tree leaving him intact.
I can feel that from half a continent away, and what I would give to see him throw hands with another one…
