Stephen Miller's Claim About James Talarico Draws Democratic Response

Stephen Miller called Texas Senate candidate James Talarico transgender, and the Democratic Party responded with an insult. Talarico also defended his comments on gender and LGBTQ+ issues amid campaign attacks. Left-leaning outlets present Miller’s claim as false and center Talarico’s defense of his LGBTQ+ positions. Center outlets emphasize the insulting social-media exchange and Talarico’s past comments, with some coverage also following his exchanges with Ken Paxton. Right-leaning outlets focus on Talarico laughing during a separate discussion of God, treating it as a political liability for Democrats.
