President Donald Trump (R) escalated his attacks on "weak, ineffective' Texas state Rep. James Talarico (D) in a lengthy and sharply worded social media post, adding to the conversation surrounding the Democratic Senate Nominee ahead of the Texas U.S. Senate race.

"The Democrat running in Texas, James Talarico, turns out to be a FRAUD!" wrote President Trump, berating Talarico's views and public image. Trump pointedly mocked Talarico's positions on social and cultural issues.

"He's got six Genders, insults to Jesus, only vegan food, was wearing a mask in 2023 and 2024, and is a weak, ineffective guy who we 'allowed' to win prior to releasing the avalanche of information we had on him because, as bad as Crockett was as a Candidate, this guy is worse!" wrote Trump.

Following the personal attack, the president wrote that "any human being” running against Talarico could win, even if they were “sick, incompetent, close to death, or even a child.”

Trump broadened his criticism beyond Texas, taking aim at California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) and referencing former Vice President Kamala Harris (D), calling Newsom the worst Canidate ever.

"He may be the Worst Candidate I have ever seen, other than, of course Gavin Newscum who admitted that he suffers from mental incapacity, is unable to read a speech, and is dumb," Trump wrote, adding, "Kamala is back!"

The comments come as Talarico has gained increasing national attention, with both supporters and critics elevating his profile in what is shaping up to be a closely watched race in Texas.

Trump's remarks signal that the Texas race is firmly on the national radar, with the President using his platform to shape the narrative and rally opposition against Talarico ahead of the November election.
