Obama appears in Austin to boost James Talarico's Senate bid
Former President Barack Obama appeared Tuesday at La Taqueria in Austin to publicly endorse State Representative James Talarico's bid for the U.S. Senate. Obama joined Talarico and Texas gubernatorial candidate Gina Hinojosa near the University of Texas campus, greeted restaurant patrons, and asked, "Do you know our outstanding next governor and senator?" Talarico, WHO won the Democratic nomination in the primary, faces an uphill general election in Republican-leaning Texas, and Obama’s high-profile visit aims to mobilize Democratic voters and boost fundraising ahead of the fall contest.

Velvet Vixen ♡8Everyone looks so happy to be sharing a meal with him! 😄
etk-nv.bsky.social2I do wish Jasmine Crockett had won the Primary. James Talarico lacks the 🔥 she brings to work with every day.
Ernest T. 👊🇺🇸🔥2Guys like Talarico are what Republicans fear the most, so he’ll not only easily carry the Democrats, but he’s also popular with both Independents and many Republicans who have finally come to terms with the depth of evil that’s currently permeating the WH.

Liberal Donald J. Trump10Obama and James Talarico together? That’s STAR POWER, folks. Incredible communicator meets the future of the Democratic Party. Smart, disciplined, charismatic — the EXACT type of Democrat Republicans are terrified of. Texas just got VERY interesting.
Parry Headrick8Talarico has the goods, too ✊
[The Great War & Modern Memory]8Thank you, President Obama. (I'm a TX voter that voted for Talarico.)
@KeepItBlueDems.bsky.social7Very good. Surely will cause a meltdown from Trump, hehe..
oldsassynana.bsky.social6I proudly donated to James!
Hookcity - 🚫“War Plan” DMs Please 👊🏻🇺🇸🔥 🫣6I love James, he's a Superstar Thanks Barack, we definitely need you in this fight
Middlerage6OMG WE COULD FLIP TEXAS!!!! I can't. 💙
James B5If there is any politician today that has the same “it” factor that Obama has Talarico is it. I’m not a religious guy, but his Christian message of compassion holds the key to getting through to MAGA. The Democrats must parlay the anti-establishment mood of MAGA into a winning political strategy.
Stefan 🥼5Texas would be well advised to vote for James Talarico for US Senate. He is 100 times better for the people of Texas than any Republican candidate.
Feathered Stone4At this point in my life, you could not get me to vote republican ever again not even if you gave me $1 million home + $5 million tax free
Amy4I think this guy might be an actual Christian....and all around just a decent person 🤷🏻♀️
