James Talarico, the Democratic nominee for U.S. Senate in Texas, now says there are two biological sexes, walking back a 2021 committee hearing statement that drew years of conservative criticism. Talarico made the reversal during a Fox News interview with correspondent Brooke Taylor, who pressed the state representative directly on remarks he delivered before the Texas State House Public Education Committee five years ago. At that hearing, Talarico claimed there were six biological sexes. Confronted with his own words on camera, the Democrat offered a blunt concession, and a pivot. Taylor's question left little room to maneuver. She asked Talarico point-blank whether he still held the position he staked out in 2021. Talarico, as…Open

James Talarico, the Democratic nominee for U.S. Senate in Texas, now says there are two biological sexes, walking back the claim he made at a state legislative hearing in 2021 that there are six. Fox News correspondent Brooke Taylor pressed Talarico on camera, asking whether he still stood by the statement he delivered before the Texas State House Public Education Committee five years ago. Talarico did not hedge. He said he got it wrong. The reversal matters because Talarico is no longer a back-bench state representative talking to a committee room. He is the Texas Democratic Party's nominee for the United States Senate, running statewide in a contest where voters will decide whether his judgment belongs in Washington. A candidate who…Open
James Talarico — the Texas Democrat locked in a tight U.S. Senate race against Republican Ken Paxton — says his stances on divisive political issues like gun control and gender-reassignment surgeries for minors have been distorted. “Ken Paxton will clip a short comment out of a much longer speech or a much longer discussion to try to paint me in the worst possible light,” the state representative told NewsNation’s Leland Vittert on Wednesday. #Texas #TalaricoPaxton #Politics "On Balance with Leland Vittert" takes a critical look at some of the day's hottest subjects.
Texas Democratic Senate nominee James Talarico responds to an AI-generated campaign ad targeting him. CNN's Alayna Treene spoke with the candidate Wednesday.

Simone Biles posted video of herself flipping off a trampoline at her family's Houston gym, and her own words about the 2028 Los Angeles Games have done nothing to quiet the speculation. The 29-year-old, who won three gold medals and a silver at the 2024 Paris Olympics, returned to World Champions Center in Houston and recorded herself launching flips into a foam pit. She posted the video to Instagram with the on-screen text "old girl, same tricks" and a caption that read, "scheduling a massage ASAP." An unnamed person filming the session asked if she was OK. Biles, breathing hard, answered plainly. "No, it feels like I just did a floor routine." She wrapped up the session with a declaration that left little doubt about the toll: "I'm…Open
