哥伦比亚广播公司新闻预测，得克萨斯州众议员詹姆斯·塔拉利科（James Talarico）将赢得得克萨斯州美国参议院民主党初选，击败众议员贾丝明·克罗克特（Jasmine Crockett），并获得足够选票以避免进入决选，这场竞争可能是今年中期选举中最受关注的竞选之一。
他将在11月面临现任共和党参议员约翰·科宁（John Cornyn）或保守派总检察长肯·帕克斯顿（Ken Paxton），后者将在5月26日的共和党初选决选中对决。
该州的参议院初选已成为历史上最昂贵的初选。对于共和党人和民主党人而言，这些竞选凸显了党内的深刻分歧。
对民主党人来说，前公设辩护律师克罗克特因抨击总统特朗普和其他共和党人而登上全国头条，她自称为斗士并吸引党内核心支持者。塔拉利科曾是中学教师和一名正在接受培训的长老会牧师，他将自己的竞选信息重点放在“爱的政治”和包容性上。
自1994年以来，民主党人尚未在得州赢得过全州范围的选举，但自2018年贝托·奥罗克（Beto O’Rourke）以3个百分点的差距险些击败共和党参议员泰德·克鲁兹（Ted Cruz）以来，该党一直瞄准夺取参议院席位。民主党人认为，鉴于长期参议员约翰·科宁和州总检察长肯·帕克斯顿之间昂贵且激烈的共和党初选，今年共和党人在得州更为脆弱。
但民主党人难以在单一候选人背后达成统一。据报道，包括奥罗克、众议员华金·卡斯特罗（Joaquin Castro）和前众议员科林·奥尔雷德（Colin Allred）在内的几位知名民主党人都在考虑参选。2024年曾挑战克鲁兹的奥尔雷德于7月加入竞选，随后塔拉利科在9月参选。
得州的这场竞选发生在得州立法机构在特朗普总统鼓励下重新划分该州38个众议院选区后的几个月，导致民主党人逃离该州以阻止他们达到法定人数对新选区地图进行投票。民主党人的努力引起了全国关注，他们筹集了数百万美元，使参议院竞选更加引人注目。
克罗克特在众议院代表的达拉斯地区第30选区正是被重新划分的选区之一。在12月的登记截止日，奥尔雷德退出参议院竞选，选择在新划分的第33选区参选众议院议员，而克罗克特则进入参议院竞选，与塔拉利科展开对决。共和党人对克罗克特参选表示欢迎，认为她是11月更易击败的候选人。
由于塔拉利科和克罗克特在许多问题上立场一致，这场竞选最终演变为一场个性冲突。两人都在全州奔波竞选，尽管风格迥异，并且都针对对方投放了攻击性广告。
今年2月，塔拉利科因计划参加哥伦比亚广播公司的《斯蒂芬·科尔伯特深夜秀》（The Late Show with Stephen Colbert）而登上全国头条，但由于新的联邦通信委员会（FCC）指导方针，该采访未在哥伦比亚广播公司的广播网络播出。科尔伯特抨击了这一决定，转而在节目YouTube频道完整播出了采访内容，而该频道无需遵循相同的FCC指导方针。科尔伯特争议事件后，塔拉利科在随后24小时内筹集了250万美元。
根据VoteHub的数据，在11天的提前投票期间，民主党初选中已有150万张选票被投出，是四年前计票总数的两倍多。
James Talarico projected to win Texas Democratic Senate primary, defeating Jasmine Crockett
Updated on: March 4, 2026 / 2:51 AM EST / CBS News
Texas Rep. James Talarico will win the U.S. Senate Democratic primary in Texas, CBS News projects, defeating Rep. Jasmine Crockett and securing enough votes to avoid a runoff in what could be one of the most closely watched races in this year’s midterms.
He will face either incumbent GOP Sen. John Cornyn or conservative Attorney General Ken Paxton, who will face off in a May 26 Republican primary runoff.
The state’s Senate primary is already the most expensive primary in history. For both Republicans and Democrats, the races are highlighting deep divisions within the party.
For Democrats, Crockett, a former public defender, has made national headlines for taking on President Trump and other Republicans, branding herself a fighter and appealing to the party’s base. Talarico, a former middle school teacher and a Presbyterian minister-in-training, has focused his message on “politics of love” and inclusivity.
Democrats have not won a statewide race in Texas since 1994, but the party has been eyeing flipping the Senate seat since Beto O’Rourke came within three points of defeating GOP Sen. Ted Cruz in 2018. Democrats feel Republicans this year are even more vulnerable in Texas given the expensive and nasty GOP primary between longtime Sen. John Cornyn and state Attorney General Ken Paxton.
But Democrats have struggled to unify behind a single candidate. Several high-profile Democrats were rumored to be considering a bid, including O’Rourke, Rep. Joaquin Castro and former Rep. Colin Allred. Allred, who challenged Cruz in 2024, jumped in the race in July, followed by Talarico in September.
The race in Texas is coming just months after Republicans in the state legislature redraw the state’s 38 House districts under President Trump’s encouragement, leading Democrats to flee the state to deny them a quorum to vote on the new map. The Democrats’ efforts garnered national attention and they raised millions, putting an extra spotlight on the Senate race.
The Dallas-area district Crockett represented in the House, the 30th, was one of the ones that was redrawn. On the December filing deadline, Allred dropped out of the Senate race, opting to run in the newly-redrawn House District 33, and Crockett entered the Senate race, setting up a showdown with Talarico. Republicans cheered Crockett’s entry in the race, believing her to be the more beatable candidate in November.
With Talarico and Crockett agreeing on many of the issues, the race had come down to a personality clash. They have both been barnstorming the state, although with very different styles, and both have run combative ads against the other.
Talarico made national headlines in February when he was scheduled to appear on CBS’ “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert,” but the interview didn’t air on the CBS broadcast network due to new FCC guidance. Colbert slammed the decision and instead ran the interview in full on the show’s YouTube channel, which does not have to follow the same FCC guidance. Following the Colbert controversy, Talarico raised $2.5 million in the 24 hours afterward.
According to VoteHub, 1.5 million votes had been cast in the Democratic primary during the 11-day early voting period, more than double the number that were tallied four years ago.
