James Talarico is running in the 2026 Texas U.S. Senate race, and his main Democratic primary opponent is U.S. Rep. Jasmine Crockett of Dallas.

In the broader race for the Senate seat, the leading Republicans he is expected to face in the general election (if he wins the Democratic primary) include Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton and U.S. Sen. John Cornyn, who are locked in a highly competitive GOP primary along with U.S. Rep. Wesley Hunt.

So, in short:

  • In the Democratic primary, Talarico is running against Jasmine Crockett (and a smaller field including Ahmad Hassan).
  • For November, the likely Republican opponent would be whichever candidate emerges from the GOP primary between Ken Paxton, John Cornyn, and Wesley Hunt.
