Crockett has largely refrained from attacking Talarico head-on, but she praised Allred’s video and said it was “unfortunate” that “this is what we’re facing” at the start of Black History Month.
During the only debate of the primary, she dinged Talarico for his donor history and relative lack of name recognition. Crockett also lent credence to the idea floated by a campaign surrogate, state Rep. Ana-María Rodríguez Ramos, that Talarico, if elected, could morph into Texas’ version of Sen. John Fetterman, the Pennsylvania Democrat who has broken with the left and staunchly supported Israel amid the war in Gaza after running as a progressive.
