Texas Democrats Just Nominated a Senate Candidate Who Told Voters Jesus Was a Radical Feminist

Texas Democrats spent decades dreaming about flipping the Lone Star State.

Now they've handed their Senate nomination to a man who stands in front of voters and tells them God is non-binary.

Find out what James Talarico actually believes – and why Republicans are already calling him the most dangerous Democrat Texas has ever fielded.

James Talarico Won the Texas Democrat Senate Primary This Week

James Talarico ran a brilliant con.

Cowboy boots. Chevy pickup. Scripture quotes on Instagram.

He told Texas voters he was a devout Christian – a Presbyterian seminarian raised in the same Austin church where he attended Bible camp as a kid.

What he didn't advertise was the rest of the package.

Talarico told audiences in a church sermon that Jesus Christ "was a radical feminist."

He stood on the Texas House floor in 2021 and declared that God is non-binary – this despite the Bible's consistent reference to God as Father and the Trinity's explicit framing in Matthew 28:19.

He told supporters that "our trans community needs abortion care too" – a statement that requires accepting that biological men can become pregnant.

And in perhaps his most brazen claim, he told a Texas House education committee that "modern science obviously recognizes that there are many more than two biological sexes – in fact there are six."

There are two biological sexes.

The NRSC – Senate Republicans – had the receipts on video before the primary votes were even fully counted, clipping Talarico's own words and blasting them to every conservative in the country.

How the Beto 2.0 Playbook Targets Texas Christian Voters

This is not the first time Democrats have tried this trick in Texas.

Beto O'Rourke – the man Talarico's own allies already call him the sequel to – ran in 2018 with a carefully cultivated image of authenticity.

Pickup truck. Skateboarding videos. Working-class drawl.

Beto lost to Ted Cruz by 215,000 votes after Texas conservatives figured out who he really was – a man who wanted to strip tax-exempt status from churches that refused to perform same-sex marriages.

Ken Paxton didn't wait for sunrise before labeling Talarico "a far-left radical who wants to abolish ICE, says God is non-binary, and thinks Christians are commanded to put boys in girls' sports."

John Cornyn – the other man who could face Talarico in November – said Talarico "should be running for the Senate in California, not in Texas."

One veteran Republican operative put it simply: Beto 2.0.

Talarico Said God Is Non-Binary and Wants a U.S. Senate Seat

Talarico raised more than $20 million since announcing his candidacy in September – dwarfing the $3.7 million his primary opponent Jasmine Crockett raised.

That money funded one strategy: dress a radical left agenda in a cross and a pair of Lucchese boots and hope Texas Christians don't look too closely.

They're counting on your church not paying attention.

Because James Talarico knows exactly what he believes – and he knows that if Texas voters fully understood it, he'd lose by more than Beto did.

This is a man who looked Christians in the eye and told them the God of Abraham, the God who spoke from the burning bush, the God described as Father in every creed recited by believers for 2,000 years – is non-binary.

He didn't whisper it.

He built a campaign on it.

Barack Obama called him "a really talented young man."

The entire national Democratic Party machine is lined up behind him.

And every single one of them is betting that Texas Christians will be too polite, too distracted, or too impressed by the cowboy hat to call this what it is.

Don't be.

Texas hasn't elected a Democrat to statewide office since 1994.

Talarico will face either John Cornyn or Ken Paxton after their May 26 Republican runoff.

The choice in November isn't complicated.

It's between a senator who represents Texas values – and a man who thinks your God needs a pronoun update.
