Democratic Texas Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett and local Dem state rep James Talarico are in a heated primary race to take the Senate seat held by GOPer John Cornyn. Both candidates have been trying to appeal to the party's far-left base while simultaneously appealing to moderate voters and disillusioned conservatives. While Crocket has been described as a raw fighter who won't mix with Republicans, Talarano has sought to broaden the Democrats' tent by making overtures to moderate and conservative voters while remaining progressive. The stakes for the primary are high given that party leaders are eyeing a rare opportunity to win the Texas Senate seat blue.
