Democratic Senate candidate James Talarico apparently rented a pickup truck for a recent campaign video to appear more Texan. <\/p>\n

Talarico can be seen driving a 2026 Ram 1500, which journalist David Weigel determined to be owned by U.S. car rental company Enterprise, in a campaign video posted July 20. The Economist reported in August 2025 that the former school teacher drove a Chevy Colorado. <\/p>\n

Talarico has drawn heavy criticism from Republicans and conservatives over his past statements on social issues and guns, as well as his views on Christianity. <\/p>\n

Talarico expressed supported for a gun licensing system, an \u201cassault weapon ban,\u201d a \u201clarge capacity magazine ban,\u201d and mandated safety standards for handguns, during a recently unearthed web seminar from 2020. <\/p>\n

The Democrat also referred to child sex changes as \u201clife-saving health care\u201d and that he \u201clove[s] \u2026 trans children\u201d in 2023. He has since backtracked on this stance, saying in a June interview, \u201cI oppose gender reassignment surgeries for minors.\u201d<\/p>\n

Talarico\u2019s opponent, Republican Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, won his primary over incumbent Republican Sen. John Cornyn in late May. Paxton credits his victory to an endorsement from President Donald Trump, made just a week before the election. Talarico currently leads Paxton by five points, according to a new poll published Wednesday. <\/p>\n

\u201cWe have a saying in Austin. We call it weird. Well this guy\u2019s weird. His positions are weird,\u201d Paxton said of Talarico during an interview with the Daily Caller News Foundation. \u201cHe went to San Francisco to raise money. In my opinion, those are his people. They\u2019re not in Texas.\u201d<\/p>\n

Paxton also addressed Talarico\u2019s 2021 claim that \u201cGod is nonbinary.\u201d <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cI think if you look at the scripture it\u2019s pretty clear God is not \u2018nonbinary.\u2019 He is expressed in three forms in the trinity, and not as James Talarico is suggesting,\u201d Paxton said. <\/p>\n

The Texas State House voted to impeach Paxton in 2023, over alleged \u201ccorruption, bribery, obstruction and other charges related to the FBI\u2019s investigation into real estate developer and Paxton donor, Nate Paul.\u201d Paxton was acquitted of all charges by the 16 senators acting as a jury over the proceeding. <\/p>\n
