27:17Now PlayingIn this episode, Kaivan Shroff interviews Texas gubernatorial candidate Bobby Cole, a former firefighter and farmer running as a working-class Democrat in the 2026 race.
Cole explains why he entered the race, how he plans to compete with lower name recognition, and why he believes Democrats should invest more in rural Texas — arguing those voters are ignored by his party and taken for granted by Republicans. They discuss whether that strategy adds up in a statewide election, especially with millions of registered Texans sitting out recent cycles.
He also addresses concerns about his lack of political experience, the Democratic establishment backing his primary opponent, how he would mobilize Black voters, and whether today’s political divide is Left vs. Right or the wealthy vs. everyone else.
Plus: his views on Jasmine Crockett and James Talarico, his news diet, who advises him, what he’ll do if he loses, and his advice for non-traditional candidates considering a run.
