John,

Everyone’s eyes are locked on the Texas Senate race — and for good reason. For the first time in a generation, Texas has a Democrat who can actually flip a seat that was once considered a guaranteed red stronghold.

That candidate is James Talarico.

This race has become so highly anticipated that President Barack Obama personally reached out to Talarico — praising him as the kind of leader voters are desperate for: authentic, grounded, principled, and unafraid to walk into tough conversations with confidence in his convictions.

On Marc Maron’s podcast, Obama singled out Talarico by name — the only Democrat he praised — calling him “terrific,” “really talented,” and exactly the type of candidate who “knows what he really believes.” Obama said voters are longing for real leaders, and Talarico is one of the few who actually “walk the walk.”

And it’s not just Democrats taking notice.

Talarico has broken through in places Democrats never go — Fox News, conservative podcasts, and even Joe Rogan.

He’s excelled on every platform, delivering a working-class message that will genuinely improve the lives of everyday Americans.

That’s why the Texas Senate race is shaping up to be one of the biggest political fights of the midterms, and James is the one Democrat positioned to turn this from a longshot into a history-making flip.

Obama sees it. Texas voters see it. And the entire political world is watching to see what happens next. Now it’s on us to make sure this moment becomes a movement — and this movement becomes a win.
