James Talarico Admits Past Comments 'Missed the Mark' in Texas Senate Race Against Ken Paxton

State Representative James Talarico spoke about his past controversial comments as the Texas Senate race begins. Talarico said that some of his old theological views, like calling God non-binary, missed the mark. He called his past words cringey and is now focusing on his campaign against Attorney General Ken Paxton. The two candidates are now trading attacks in new campaign advertisements. Even though Talarico is apologizing for past statements, some observers like Steve Bannon believe that beating Talarico will be a tough challenge for Paxton.
