Trump wants Texas Republican primary ended after Talarico’s victory

A panicked Donald Trump has called for an end to the Republican Party’s Texas primary after a left-wing Christian pastor who opposes Israel won a stunning victory in the Democratic primary.

Not in your name

James Talarico, is the honourable pastor and state senator, who beat Israel lobby-backed Jasmine Crockett in the 4 March primary. He believes strongly that Jesus would be tipping over tables in protest against racist Christian nationalism.

The results sent Trump into a tailspin, leading him to demand that Republican candidates drop out of the primary battle so he could nominate his preferred pick to fight the ‘radical left’ opponent. The move has infuriated members of the Republican camp.

Tanking Trump

The demand, as we can surmise, shows that Trump knows how badly he’s tanking in the polls. The Democrats haven’t won in Texas since 1988, but he fears they might now. However, Trump was out of luck. The candidates rejected his demand, and two contenders are still fighting tooth and nail for the top spot.
