Talarico says he 'missed the mark' in claiming there are 'six sexes'
- On Wednesday, Democratic U.S. Senate nominee James Talarico appeared on Fox News, stating he would "oppose trans athletes playing in girls sports if it endangers safety or fairness." This marks a notable shift from his legislative record.
- Republican Attorney General Ken Paxton criticized the reversal, posting on X that Talarico previously voted against TWO bills that would have prevented men from playing in women's sports.
- During the same Fox News interview Wednesday, Talarico also retracted past comments about "six sexes," admitting he "missed the mark" and clarifying he now believes "there are two sexes."
- Brad Pritchett, CEO of the LGBTQ+ advocacy group Equality Texas, stated the organization "expect better" of Talarico following his comments.
- Seeking to capture right-leaning voters in a close race, Talarico aims to secure Democrats' first statewide win in Texas since 1994, while Paxton continues using the issue as a campaign centerpiece.
