Is Texas finally in play? Tara Palmeri sits down with Democratic strategist Alex Hoffman to break down the hottest Senate race in America. They dig into how James Talarico — a 30-something pastor and state rep who ran on faith, unity, and Texas values — beat Jasmine Crockett in the Democratic primary despite her national profile and Kamala Harris endorsement. Plus: the Republican civil war between Ken Paxton and John Cornyn, why Trump's endorsement could decide the runoff, how the Colbert censorship incident supercharged Talarico's fundraising, and whether this is finally the "perfect storm" Democrats have been waiting for — or just another Texas white whale. They also talk voter suppression, donor strategy, and what the Texas turnout signals for the 2026 midterms.
