州众议员詹姆斯·塔拉利科将赢得美国参议院得克萨斯州民主党初选，美国有线电视新闻网（CNN）决策部门预测，这将使这位曾经鲜为人知的州议员成为该党11月大选候选人名单的首选。
这位36岁的候选人将击败来自达拉斯地区、44岁的民主党众议员贾斯敏·克罗基特。这场竞争激烈的初选变得愈发个人化。他将面临美国参议员约翰·科宁或得克萨斯州总检察长肯·帕克斯顿的挑战，而CNN预测科宁和帕克斯顿将进入5月26日的决选。

预测获胜者
塔拉利科是一名长老会神学院学员和前教师，来自奥斯汀郊外的朗德罗克。在2025年9月进入参议院竞选之前，他在得克萨斯州并不广为人知。但他因将信仰作为竞选信息的重要焦点而赢得了一批追随者。
广告反馈
塔拉利科还因《深夜秀》主持人斯蒂芬·科尔伯特表示，由于哥伦比亚广播公司（CBS）可能面临联邦通信委员会（FCC）的相关担忧，他无法对这位民主党州议员进行采访而获得全国关注。这段未能播出的采访在网上获得了数百万次观看。
共和党方面的激烈初选让一些民主党人希望，这个长期由共和党掌控的参议院席位在11月可能出现变数。但民主党人正处于艰难的政治环境中：30多年来，没有民主党人在全州范围内获胜。
在整个初选中，两位都拥有庞大网络追随者的民主党人将自己塑造为斗士，但在斗争方式上展现出不同策略。
克罗基特经常强调她在华盛顿与总统和共和党交锋的经验，而塔拉利科则谈到要“挑战一个破败、腐败的政治体系”。
民主党初选还重新点燃了党内关于“竞选可行性”的辩论，一些民主党人，包括塔拉利科的盟友，公开质疑克罗基特是否能在11月击败共和党对手。
作为一名黑人女性，克罗基特反驳了这些批评，上月她告诉记者：“我厌倦了人们询问我是否有当选能力。事实是，这不过是个煽动性的暗示。”
这位得克萨斯州女议员批评支持塔拉利科的一个超级政治行动委员会（super PAC）播出广告称，如果她在11月成为候选人，民主党可能会失利，指责这些行为是“试图抹黑一名黑人女性”。
两位在得克萨斯州众议院共事过的民主党人，为在大选中实现民主党胜利提出了不同策略。克罗基特作为一位以与共和党激烈交锋而闻名的民主党激进派，主张重新激发基础选民（包括黑人和年轻选民）的热情，而不是针对中间派。
塔拉利科则认为，民主党不应仅依赖基础选民，还应争取对总统唐纳德·特朗普感到不满的独立选民。
克罗基特于2025年12月以高知名度参选，她的参选促使前众议员科林·奥尔雷德放弃参议院竞选，转而争取北得克萨斯州的众议院席位。
奥尔雷德后来支持克罗基特的竞选，此前一名TikTok活动人士指控塔拉利科称他为“平庸的黑人男子”。塔拉利科的竞选团队辩称，这些言论被断章取义。
在整个竞选过程中，塔拉利科在筹款和广告投放方面均领先于克罗基特。
塔拉利科自去年9月启动竞选以来已筹集超过2000万美元，而克罗基特自2025年12月参选以来筹集了370万美元，此外还从她的众议院竞选账户转移了480万美元。

State Rep. James Talarico will win the Democratic primary for US Senate in Texas, CNN’s Decision Desk projects, placing a once little-known state legislator at the top of the party’s ticket for the general election in November.
The 36-year-old will defeat US Rep. Jasmine Crockett, a fiery 44-year-old Democrat from the Dallas area, in a contentious primary that became increasingly personal. He will face either US Sen. John Cornyn or Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, who CNN projects will head to a May 26 runoff.

Projected Winner
Talarico, a Presbyterian seminarian and former teacher from Round Rock, outside of Austin, was not well known across Texas before entering the Senate race in September. But he gained a following after making his faith a prominent focus of his messaging.
Ad Feedback
Talarico also benefited from national exposure when “Late Show” host Stephen Colbert said he was not allowed to run an interview with the Democratic state legislator due to potential FCC concerns from CBS. The interview consequently got millions of views online.
An intensely fought primary on the Republican side is giving some in the Democratic Party hope the long-held GOP Senate seat could be in play in November. But Democrats are operating in tough political terrain: No Democrat has won statewide in more than three decades.
Throughout the primary, the two Democrats, who each have large online followings, portrayed themselves as fighters but showcased different approaches on how to wage those fights.
Crockett often pointed to her experience tangling with the president and GOP in Washington while Talarico talked about taking on a “broken, corrupt political system.”
The Democratic primary also reignited the party’s debate over “electability” with some Democrats, including allies of Talarico, openly questioning whether Crockett could win against a Republican in November.
Crockett, a Black woman, pushed back on those critiques, telling reporters last month, “I am tired of people asking whether or not I am electable. The reality is that that is nothing but a dog whistle.”
The Texas congresswoman criticized a super PAC supporting Talarico for airing an ad suggesting Democrats would lose in November if she was at the top of the ticket, saying those efforts were aimed at “tearing down a Black woman.”
The two Democrats, who served together in the Texas state House, promoted different strategies for achieving a Democratic victory in the general election. Crockett, a Democratic firebrand who rose to prominence through her viral showdowns with the GOP, said her party should focus on reenergizing base voters, including Black and young voters, instead of targeting those in the middle.
Talarico, on the other hand, argued Democrats should not just turn out base voters, but also appeal to independents souring on President Donald Trump.
Crockett entered the race in December with high name recognition. Her last-minute entry in the race prompted former Rep. Colin Allred to abandon his Senate bid and instead run for a House seat in North Texas.
Allred later endorsed Crockett’s campaign after an activist on TikTok accused Talarico of referring to him as a “mediocre Black man.” Talarico’s campaign argued his comments were mischaracterized.
Talarico held a fundraising and advertising advantage over Crockett throughout the contest.
Talarico raised more than $20 million since launching his candidacy last September while Crockett brought in $3.7 million since her December campaign launch. Crockett also transferred an additional $4.8 million from her House campaign account.
