Stop Sabotaging Talarico and El-Sayed — Back the Nominees

Stop undermining James Talarico and Abdul El-Sayed. Jasmine Crockett, Josh Gottheimer, Dana Nessel, and Hillary Scholten need to get behind their party's Senate nominees right now — not snipe from the sidelines while Republicans spend tens of millions burying them in attack ads. The stakes couldn't be more concrete. Winning Texas and Michigan could flip the Senate and put a real check on an authoritarian president. Crockett refusing to speak at the Texas Democrats' convention, publicly suggesting Talarico can't connect with Black voters, and declining to campaign for him isn't political analysis — it's sabotage. Gottheimer going on Fox News to attack El-Sayed hands Republicans a weapon. These aren't neutral acts. They hurt real candidates in real races. The intraparty grievances here — over the primary results, over 2028 implications, over Israel policy — are legitimate debates worth having. November 4 is the right time to have them. Right now, every prominent Democrat should be attacking Ken Paxton and Mike Rogers, not their own nominees. Two months. That's all it takes to prove this isn't about preferring a pro-Trump senator to one from a rival faction.
