8:03Now PlayingUS President Donald Trump has unleashed a fierce attack on rising Democratic star James Talarico as the Texas Senate race heats up. While campaigning for Republican candidate Ken Paxton, Trump took aim at the 37-year-old Texas lawmaker with a series of Truth Social posts, mocking his appearance, politics and progressive views. Trump also repeatedly branded Talarico with the nickname “Talafreako” and compared him to MAD magazine mascot Alfred E. Neuman. But the insult appears to have taken an unexpected turn. Talarico has embraced the nickname and is now selling “I’m a Talafreako” T-shirts on his campaign website. The online clash comes as polls show Talarico leading Paxton in the race, raising fresh questions about Republican control of a Senate seat in deep-red Texas.
