Texas Democratic U.S. Senate candidate James Talarico is making headlines after publicly defending fellow Democrat Jasmine Crockett.
While speaking at a campaign event in Houston, Talarico urged his supporters to stop criticizing Crockett.
"If you claim to be my supporter, if you claim to be a part of this movement that we are building, please keep Congresswoman Crockett's name out of your mouth."
Crockett later responded on social media, teasing what she described as a "shocking endorsement" and telling followers to "stay tuned."
The exchange has fueled speculation about potential political alliances as campaign season continues in Texas.
