He’d said something a lot less clear at the beginning of the week (which the Texas Tribune article is about), but when progressives told him that wasn’t good enough he made a more clear statement (which is what the Erin in the Morning article focuses on) I would have rather just shared the second article, but substack blogs get removed in this community so it had to hitch a ride on a slightly out of date article At any rate, my ultimate takeaway from this is that I still don’t like some things Talarico has said on the campaign trail, but I think he will listen to his base and do the right thing when he’s pressured in office (well, assuming he wins his race anyway) e; Also, above and beyond campaign rhetoric, one place where he’s still dead wrong on policy is (from the EitM article) Talarico still pledges to support a national ban on surgical interventions that help transgender youth, which may include top surgery or hormone implants.
