Democratic Texas Senate candidate James Talarico said during an interview posted Tuesday that the national party was “condescending” to people, and sometimes is “hostile” toward cultural issues in red states, specifically religion.<\/p>\n

“I\u2019m not an expert on the national Democratic Party, but I will say, just from my observations, being in a red state, someone who flipped a Trump district and was able to build this kind of coalition: Our national party is pretty condescending to people,” Talarico told The New York Times’ Ezra Klein<\/a>, who asked the Senate candidate how the national party could appeal more to Texans.<\/p>\n

Talarico, a state representative who is running against<\/a> Rep. Jasmine Crockett, D-Texas, in the Senate race, is a former middle school teacher and Presbyterian seminarian.<\/p>\n

“You always hear this, especially if you are out on the coasts: Why do all these people vote against their material interests? You\u2019ve heard that before, I\u2019m sure. Such a condescending thing to say to somebody. It\u2019s acting like they don\u2019t know how to make decisions for their own lives, and they don\u2019t know what they need,” he said.<\/p>\n

Talarico said people have interests outside their material interests, citing cultural, personal and spiritual interests.<\/p>\n

“And the Democratic Party culturally, in many ways, has become hostile to some of these cultural values in red states and red communities \u2014 faith maybe being foremost<\/a> among them,” he continued.<\/p>\n

“I don\u2019t agree with everyone who shares my faith. I don\u2019t agree with every member of the body of Christ, but I am part of that body, and we share something deeper than partisanship. We share something deeper than public policy. We share a commitment, a witness, a practice, a tradition, and that is an opportunity for connection,” the candidate said.<\/p>\n

Podcast host Joe Rogan urged Talarico to run for president<\/a> during an interview on Rogan’s show in July.<\/p>\n

The Democratic state representative said shared faith can open doors for other conversations and said the party should focus on building relationships with people who aren’t necessarily supportive of the party.<\/p>\n

“So I would just advocate for our party to think about how to actually build real relationships at scale with people who aren\u2019t with us yet. Not only will that, I think, lead to winning, and we have a moral imperative to win in a democracy. Because if you don\u2019t win, you don\u2019t get power. And if you don\u2019t get power, you can\u2019t make people\u2019s lives better,” he said.<\/p>\n

Crockett, Talarico’s chief opponent for the nomination, announced her Senate candidacy in December.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Her campaign announcement included a video<\/u><\/a> playing several soundbites of President Donald Trump attacking her. Crockett is one of the most outspoken members of Congress against Trump, who has carried Texas easily in all three of his White House races.<\/p>\n

She has argued<\/a> that she doesn’t need to win over supporters of Trump to win in Texas, which hasn’t elected a Democrat to statewide office in decades.<\/p>\n

“Our goal is to definitely talk to people. No, we don’t, we don’t need to. Our goal is to make sure that we can engage people that historically have not been talked to, because there’s so many people that get ignored, specifically in the state of Texas. Listen, the state of Texas is 61% people of color. We have a lot of good folks that we can talk to,” the lawmaker said in December.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
