Talarico says ‘There is something happening in Texas’ after primary win

James Talarico told supporters at a victory party Wednesday night that “There is something happening in Texas,” a day after he won his party’s primary, his campaign said.

Talarico, the Texas Democratic candidate for the U.S. Senate, described the evening as defiant and hopeful, his campaign said.

“The number of Texans who have never voted before but showed up in this election is unprecedented. The number of independents and Republicans who voted in this Democratic primary…” Talarico said, according to his campaign.

He said the turnout included first-time voters, independents and Republicans, a development he and his campaign called unprecedented.
