The number of independents and Republicans who voted in this Democratic primary is unprecedented.

This is proof that there is something happening in Texas.

Tonight, the people of our state gave this country a little bit of hope, and a little bit of hope is a dangerous thing.

That was Texas State Representative James Tala Rico, now U.S. Senate candidate after winning the Democratic primary last night against Congresswoman

Jasmine Crockett. But this morning, it's still unclear who he will face in November.

Incumbent Senator John Cornyn and Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton are officially headed for a May

26th runoff after both failed to secure 50% of the vote in the Republican primary last night.

That's big news.

And I would just say it's an outside observance.

I don't know Ken Pecks.

I've never met him.

I know John Cornyn.

I would just say the fact that a guy that has had as many problems as he has had in government to be like Republicans,

the fact that he's even close to John Cornyn, given all of his legal problems and challenges,

it's just absolutely amazing. I will say, though, most of the energy, Willie, on James

Talarico, a guy that has just sort of exploded onto the national stage, a lot like Barack Obama.

Yes, I will say a lot like Barack Obama did, who was a state senator. With James Tullerico,

you've got a guy that is not your father's Democrat.

He quotes the Bible an awful lot. He uses it to not preach hatred and vision. He uses it to preach

inclusion. He uses it to talk about the importance of treating people decently, giving people hope.

And as they're sorting through the numbers this morning, one of the reasons he won, of course,

he was expected to win educated white voters.
