得克萨斯州民主党联邦参议院候选人詹姆斯·塔拉里科已在该州第35国会选区的选举中表态支持约翰尼·加西亚，民主党人正在加大力度阻止这位在下周决选前发表反犹言论的竞争对手。
“加西亚在圣安东尼奥的工薪阶层家庭出生长大，是一名副警长，有着保护他参选代表的社区的记录，”塔拉里科在一份最先由CNN报道的声明中说道。“加西亚懂得如何为得克萨斯州工薪阶层争取权益，因为他本身就是一名工薪阶层得州人，他久经考验的领导力正是国会当下所亟需的。”
此次背书是击败莫琳·加林多整体行动的一部分，加林多是一名性治疗师，因反犹言论受到两党议员的谴责。
上周，她在自己的竞选Instagram账号上发帖称，如果当选，她将把当地的美国移民及海关执法局（ICE）拘留中心改造为“关押美国犹太复国主义者和前ICE官员的监狱，理由是他们犯下人口贩运罪”。
加林多否认自己的言论具有反犹主义色彩。她在周三的一份声明中表示，她“关于卡恩斯拘留中心的提议绝非针对犹太犹太复国主义者——而是针对亿万富翁犹太复国主义者，无论其宗教信仰如何。如果他们为种族灭绝式的监狱国家提供材料，或者有爱泼斯坦档案中涉及恋童癖的证据，他们都应该被送上法庭。”

全国民主党人士对加林多可能赢得5月26日决选感到担忧，她在该选区3月3日的初选中排名第一。根据最近提交给联邦选举委员会的文件，加林多获得了Lead Left PAC政治行动委员会近100万美元的资助。《Punchbowl新闻》此前报道称，该PAC的网站元数据中包含共和党筹款平台WinRed的链接，民主党人士已谴责该PAC的资助行为。
CNN已联系Lead Left PAC置评。
根据CNN的分析，得克萨斯州共和党去年在全国范围内的重划选区行动中重新调整了第35选区的边界，将其从一个深蓝选区改为预计会以10个百分点优势支持唐纳德·特朗普总统的选区。
“这已经到了孤注一掷的地步，如果我们任由她获胜，我们的对手只会损害我们的政党，把我们推向悬崖，”加西亚告诉CNN。
他补充道，塔拉里科“明白这场选举的利害关系，当我们知道可以在11月赢得胜利时，我们不能让胜利从手中溜走”。
包括民主党国会竞选委员会和蓝狗联盟在内的全国民主党人士都已表态支持贝萨尔县警长办公室公共信息官加西亚。民主党领导人也谴责了加林多的言论。
塔拉里沃上周告诉《犹太电讯社》，如果加林多获得提名，他不会与其共同竞选，并补充说两党都必须有领导人“挺身而出谴责仇恨”。
民主党众议员、新泽西州的乔希·戈特海默和佛罗里达州的贾里德·莫斯科维茨发誓，如果加林多当选，他们“在国会任职的每一天”都将推动投票将其驱逐出国会。
“莫琳的疯狂反犹观点——包括将美国人关进集中营——在我们的政党和国家里没有容身之地，”他们在周三发布的一份声明中写道。

Summary
- Texas Democrats’ US Senate nominee James Talarico has endorsed Johnny Garcia in a heated House runoff election.
- The endorsement aims to block rival candidate Maureen Galindo, who sparked bipartisan condemnation over antisemitic comments.
- National Democrats warn Galindo’s rhetoric could jeopardize the party’s chances in the newly redrawn district.
AI-generated summary was reviewed by a CNN editor.
James Talarico, Texas Democrats’ US Senate nominee, has thrown his support behind Johnny Garcia in the state’s 35th Congressional District, where Democrats are ramping up their efforts to block a rival candidate who made antisemitic comments ahead of a runoff election next week.
“Born and raised in a working class household in San Antonio, Garcia is a deputy sheriff with a track record of protecting the communities he’s running to represent,” Talarico said in a statement first reported by CNN. “Garcia knows how to fight for working Texans because he is a working Texan, and his battle-tested leadership is exactly what’s needed in Congress.”
The endorsement is part of a wider push to defeat Maureen Galindo, a sex therapist who has been rebuked by members of both parties over her antisemitic comments.
Last week, she posted on her campaign Instagram account that if elected, she would turn a local Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention center into “a prison for American Zionists and former ICE officers for human trafficking.”
Galindo denies that her comments are antisemitic. She said in a statement Wednesday that her “proposal for Karnes Detention Center was NEVER for Jewish Zionists– it’s for BILLIONAIRE Zionists, regardless of religion. If they’ve done business for genocidal prison state materials or there’s evidence of pedophilia from Epstein files, they should be brought to trial.”

National Democrats are alarmed at the possibility that Galindo, who placed first in the district’s March 3 primary, could win the May 26 runoff election. Galindo has benefited from nearly $1 million in spending from Lead Left PAC, according to recent Federal Election Commission filings. Punchbowl News previously reported that the PAC’s website had links to WinRed, a Republican fundraising platform, in its metadata, and Democrats have condemned the PAC’s spending.
CNN has reached out to Lead Left PAC for comment.
Texas Republicans redrew the 35th District last year as part of a nationwide redistricting push, changing it from a heavily Democratic seat to one that would have voted for President Donald Trump by 10 points, according to a CNN analysis.
“It is literally becoming all or nothing, and our opponent will only harm our party, will walk us off of a cliff, if we allow her to win,” Garcia told CNN.
He added that Talarico “understands the importance of what is at stake in this race, and we cannot just let it slip out of our hands when we know we can see victory in November.”
National Democrats, including the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee and the Blue Dog Coalition, have rallied behind Garcia, a public information officer for the Bexar County Sheriff’s Office. Democratic leaders have also condemned Galindo’s rhetoric.
Talarico told the Jewish Telegraphic Agency last week that he would not campaign with Galindo if she wins the nomination, adding that there must be leaders in both parties “willing to stand up and call out hate.”
Democratic Reps. Josh Gottheimer of New Jersey and Jared Moskowitz of Florida vowed to force votes to expel her from Congress “every single day we are here” if she is elected.
“Maureen’s insane, antisemitic views — including putting Americans in concentration camps — have no place in our Party or country,” they wrote in a statement released Wednesday.
