10 OUTLETSStephen 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.
