Black Texas voters back Talarico as Paxton fight stays tight
TL;DR Summary
A Texas Southern University poll of 500 Black Texans found strong support for Democrat James Talarico over Republican Ken Paxton in the U.S. Senate race, with 79% backing Talarico and 12% Paxton; Crockett’s defeat barely dents Black turnout (7% say they’re less likely to vote). A separate statewide TSU survey shows Talarico leading Paxton 47% to 45% within the margin of error, while Crockett endorsed Talarico and called for unity amid lingering tensions. Talarico has launched a $25 million Black outreach push to mobilize Black voters.
