The cherry on top would be Colin Allred ending his campaign tomorrow and consolidating his support around Talarico

He definitely needs to strike while the iron is hot in terms of his publicity. The Joe Rogan interview coupled with him being the face of the walkout raised his name recognition.

May the best man win, though I’m pulling for him over Allred

I’m not in Texas so my opinion is irrelevant here, but I’ve become a big fan of this guy lately!

Same, I've been watching him for a bit now, and I am very much a fan. I'd love to see him move to the US Senate.
