The Congressional Black Caucus on Friday endorsed James Talarico, the Democratic Senate nominee in Texas, following a contentious primary riven by accusations of racism.
“James Talarico is a true fighter who is committed to advancing the values of the Black community,” Rep. Gregory Meeks, the New York Democrat who chairs the caucus’ political action committee, said in a statement. “Texas’ Black community deserves a leader who will lower costs, stand up to corruption, and advance equity.”
