This week when Democrats meet at their state convention to energize and organize their party ahead of November, they\u2019ll be doing so without U.S. Rep. Jasmine Crockett, D-Dallas, who declined an invitation to headline the event from James Talarico, the Senate nominee who defeated her in March.<\/p>

Last week, Crockett told The Dallas Morning News that she hadn\u2019t listened to Talarico\u2019s message asking her to speak but thought the invitation was an \u201cafterthought.\u201d She added that she \u201chad no idea\u201d if she\u2019d be actively campaigning for her primary opponent because she was focusing more on down-ballot candidates.<\/p>\n

Across the aisle, U.S. Sen. John Cornyn is no closer to letting up on his beef with Attorney General Ken Paxton, who bested him for the Republican Senate nomination last month. In recent interviews, Cornyn said he would not campaign nor raise money for Paxton and stands by his sharp criticisms of the attorney general from the primary as corrupt and unfit for office.<\/p>\n

A month since the U.S. Senate race in Texas was set, Paxton and Talarico\u2019s most notable skeptics of late are still their primary opponents, who have publicly cast doubt on the coalitions behind the nominees \u2014 highlighting potential vulnerabilities the candidates face in shoring up their support ahead of November after deeply divisive primaries.<\/p>\n

Cornyn and Crockett\u2019s comments spotlighted the voting blocs who backed them in the primary whose support and enthusiasm the nominees are now looking to capture. While Paxton will need to minimize potential defections by Cornyn\u2019s voters \u2014 traditional Republicans repelled by the attorney general\u2019s long list of legal and ethical scandals \u2014 Talarico will need to gin up excitement among Black voters, who are central to the Democratic base and broke overwhelmingly for Crockett in March.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve not heard a bunch of kumbaya,\u201d Crockett told the Dallas Morning News about whether Talarico had done enough to win over Black voters. \u201cPeople don\u2019t seem to be convinced at this point, but there\u2019s a lot of time between now and November.\u201d<\/p>\n

Matthew Wilson, a political science professor at Southern Methodist University, said Cornyn and Crockett\u2019s muted support could stifle enthusiasm on Election Day.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s some sour grapes on both the Democratic and the Republican sides about the way that things ended up playing out,\u201d Wilson said. \u201cWhile in the end both Cornyn and Crockett will signal support for their party\u2019s ticket, the level of enthusiasm that they bring to that is going to be pretty limited.\u201d<\/p>\n

In a statement, Crockett spokesperson Karrol Rimal reiterated the congresswoman\u2019s endorsement of Talarico, which she issued the day after she lost the primary and noted during a social media livestream Saturday.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe congresswoman is a lifelong Democrat who wants to see Dems retake the House, Senate, governor\u2019s mansion and the state Legislature,\u201d Rimal said. \u201cCongresswoman Jasmine Crockett will continue being a force for change, civil rights and equal representation with or without a title.\u201d<\/p>\n

In a statement, Talarico spokesperson JT Ennis said, \u201cJames is honored to have Congresswoman Crockett\u2019s endorsement in this race.\u201d<\/p>\n

He added, \u201cWhile Republicans, Independents and Democrats continue to reject Ken Paxton\u2019s corruption, Texans are coming together in this election to do something extraordinary: End thirty years of one-party rule and give hope to working people left behind by this broken, corrupt political system rigged by billionaire megadonors and puppet politicians like Ken Paxton.\u201d<\/p>\n

Cornyn\u2019s campaign declined to comment for this story.<\/p>\n

Paxton spokesperson Madison Cercy did not address Cornyn\u2019s remarks or Republican divides in response to a request for comment for this story, and instead issued a statement about racial tensions among Democrats, calling on Talarico to \u201cpublicly apologize\u201d for what she cast as \u201csexist and racist attacks\u201d during the primary.<\/p>\n

Brendan Steinhauser, a Republican strategist uninvolved in the race, argued that the tenor of conversation at this point in the cycle was \u201cnormal for competitive and often emotional primaries,\u201d and not necessarily indicative of a deeper or lasting discontent among Cornyn and Crockett\u2019s supporters with their party\u2019s nominee.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a long way from November, and eventually Republicans and Democrats are going to come home,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

On the Republican side, Texas GOP leaders have repeatedly urged their party to come together \u2014 or risk a Democratic upset in November.<\/p>\n

Cornyn has said he will \u201csupport the Republican ticket.\u201d But he\u2019s also stood by the attacks he levied against Paxton during the primary, telling Semafor that he would leave it to President Donald Trump to shell out the tens of millions of dollars Paxton\u2019s campaign will need for the general election. He also predicted to The New York Times that Trump, who all but sealed the senior senator\u2019s demise by granting Paxton an 11th-hour endorsement, would regret his decision to do so and see Paxton\u2019s nomination threaten GOP control of the seat and down-ballot races.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s going to make things harder, certainly more expensive in Texas, and make it harder around the country,\u201d Cornyn said. Trump is \u201cgoing to have the most miserable two years of his life in the last two years of his term, I think, because I think November is going to be a disaster.\u201d<\/p>\n

At the Texas GOP convention last month, Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick called Cornyn one of two \u201csore losers\u201d among Republicans who lost their primaries for his unwillingness to throw his support behind his former opponent.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve already seen bad behavior by two\u201d Republicans who lost, Patrick said. \u201cWe cannot have any people deserting our party in November of 2026 if we\u2019re going to keep Texas red. We have to come together.\u201d<\/p>

Comments like those, Cornyn told Semafor, are evidence that Texas GOP leaders were \u201cbasically continuing to alienate what I would call traditional conservative Republicans like me, and the people who voted for me. Makes no sense whatsoever.\u201d<\/p>\n

Other Republicans have also been outspoken about their reluctance to support Paxton.<\/p>\n

\u201cPlease explain to me how bashing Sen. Cornyn, a good man with a lifetime of service to the state of Texas and the country, is going to help convince his 900k supporters to vote for Ken,\u201d former Southlake mayor and state Senate candidate John Huffman, a Republican, posted on X. \u201cNewsflash to the top of the ticket \u2013 YOU NEED US. Best you start acting like it.\u201d<\/p>\n

The enduring intraparty conflict signals an opening for Talarico, who has made appealing to Cornyn supporters and disaffected voters across the political spectrum central to his general election strategy. Recent polling has found Talarico narrowly trailing Paxton overall, but winning up to 30% of Cornyn supporters and trouncing the hardline attorney general among independent and moderate voters.<\/p>\n

Steinhauser said he expected Paxton\u2019s campaign to \u201crecalibrate a little bit on focus and messaging for the general election\u201d and coalesce Republican voters.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey\u2019re going to continue to be that conservative fighter that the voters want to see, but I also expect that you\u2019re going to see Paxton and his team do a good job of appealing to Cornyn Republicans, appealing to independents who lean conservative,\u201d he said. \u201cThey\u2019re very aware that they need to do that, and I expect them to do so.\u201d<\/p>\n

As Talarico pursues potential crossover voters, he\u2019ll also need to mobilize Black Texans, among whom Crockett is an influential leader.<\/p>\n

She endorsed him quickly after the primary. But since then, the Dallas congresswoman, one of the state\u2019s most prominent Black leaders, has questioned the unity of voters behind the statewide ticket and said her focus will largely be on boosting down-ballot candidates through FIRE PAC, her new leadership PAC, rather than the top of the ticket.<\/p>\n

Crockett\u2019s comments set off an online firestorm that revived racial tensions from the primary, with many of the congresswoman\u2019s social media allies viewing criticisms of her remarks as unfairly demanding she campaign for Talarico.<\/p>\n

\u201cPeople seem to be obsessed with now dictating what I\u2019ll do and when?!\u201d Crockett posted on social media Friday. \u201cI said as a senate candidate that I\u2019d be focused on the down ballot and my plan to do that hasn\u2019t changed.\u201d<\/p>\n

Dallas Jones, a Democratic strategist uninvolved with the race, argued that while Talarico needed to energize Black voters to support a surge in Democratic turnout in November, Paxton faced the more daunting task of curtailing crossover voting.<\/p>\n

Still, Jones said, muted enthusiasm for Talarico from Crockett could make it harder for his campaign to \u201cshow that there is a genuine desire and quest to go after these Black voters, particularly around Black women who have experienced being the most loyal voting bloc in this party and suffering disappointments \u2014 what I have called Kamala trauma.\u201d<\/p>\n

Roughly two-thirds of Black voters said they would support Talarico over Paxton, recent public polling \u2014 lower than the proportion that have backed the Democratic U.S. Senate candidate in previous cycles.<\/p>\n

Talarico has worked to win over Black voters since the primary, visiting Black churches and universities, meeting with Black leaders around the state, rolling out a plan to tackle maternal mortality,\u00a0which disproportionately impacts Black women,\u00a0and more.<\/p>\n

Numerous Black elected officials have campaigned and served as surrogates for him, including influential Black Democrats Harris County Commissioner Rodney Ellis and state Sen. Royce West of Dallas. Texas Organizing Project, which supported Crockett during the primary and is dedicated to mobilizing Black and Latino voters, also endorsed Talarico last month.<\/p>\n

Ellis predicted that Talarico would win a \u201ctremendous amount of support in the African American community because Black Texans more than anybody else \u2014 we\u2019ve had the brunt of disadvantages in the state, and we know how important it is to end this one-party rule in Texas.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI was for Jasmine Crockett in the primary \u2014 that was then, this is now,\u201d Ellis said on stage at a Talarico campaign rally in Houston last month. \u201cThere\u2019s too much at stake to be petty.\u201d<\/p>\n
