Roland Martin pressed Texas Democratic Senate nominee James Talarico on how he plans to win significant Black support after defeating Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett in the primary.
Talarico said Democrats have a history of taking Black voters for granted and insisted that his campaign must earn the trust, respect and votes of every Black Texan. He said Black communities cannot be treated as automatic Democratic voters and that his campaign is actively showing up, listening and investing in Black communities.
The conversation then turned to the material issues Black Texans are facing: the elimination of the HUB program, attacks on Black businesses and HBCUs, racist redistricting maps that strip communities of political and economic power, and rising housing costs that are putting homeownership and wealth-building further out of reach for young Black Texans.
