Democrat Calls National Party 'Condescending' Towards Faith in Conservative States

Democratic Senate candidate James Talarico has criticized the national Democratic Party, calling it 'condescending' towards people and sometimes 'hostile' towards cultural issues in red states, a sentiment shared by some in his home state of Texas. Talarico's comments come as he runs for the Senate seat previously held by Ted Cruz. The candidate believes that the party needs to be more inclusive of conservative-leaning voters who are often marginalized within its base. By addressing these concerns, Talarico hopes to build a more diverse coalition that can appeal to voters in both urban and rural areas.
