What to Know About James Talarico, Including Comments He Admits Are ‘Cringey’

Talarico said he regrets some "cringey" remarks after CBS News pressed him on a 2021 claim that God is non-binary.

  • Texas Senate candidate James Talarico admitted during a CBS News interview this week to feeling "regret" over "cringey comments" regarding his past declaration that "God is non-binary."
  • Republican officials have repeatedly focused on these past remarks, alongside a 2022 clip regarding meat consumption, as part of a broader strategy to paint the Democratic candidate as outside the Texas mainstream.
  • Defending his 2021 comments, Talarico said he was "intentionally provocative" to suggest God cannot be defined by human categories, while also explaining his scientific arguments regarding a nuanced spectrum of biological sex.
  • Following a primary runoff victory over Sen. John Cornyn with an endorsement from President Donald Trump, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton will face Talarico in the general election.
  • On Tuesday, Talarico labeled Paxton "the most corrupt politician in America" while attempting to capture Democratic frustration with their party, having raised $27 million in the first quarter despite GOP attacks.
